According to the plot, Nick Marshall is one of the top advertising managers in Chicago, he is the master of his life and enjoys it and the city. Therefore, they decided to shoot without straying from the script - in Chicago, USA. But in the film itself, the locations do not play a big role. These are large apartments in skyscrapers, private townhouses, small apartments under railway tracks, and streets with parks, but they do not show the city, but only serve as a function, showing the status of the people living in them or showing habits. If you replace Chicago in this film with any other metropolis, absolutely nothing would change.

Filming Locations:
