The sports drama about a love triangle was mostly filmed in Massachusetts cities, but some scenes were shot in New York City. The main characters in the movie travel all over the United States, but in reality the shooting took place within 30 miles of Boston. The trick for the creators was to find locations that look like Atlanta, California, or New Orleans.
Boston location manager Mark Fitzgerald says that in the movie, White Stadium in Franklin Park became the site of the Atlanta Open. And the Wedgewood Swim and Tennis Club in Bedford became a country club in New Rochelle, located in New York State.
