The principal photography of the film began on July 23, 2012, in Los Angeles.[2][3]
Glenn Kenny of RogerEbert.com described the film as "a Bro-dom comedy with a sharp focus on The Inappropriate Guy", criticizing its reliance on puerile humor.[5] David Nusair of Reel Film Reviews wrote, "Someone Marry Barry‘s exceedingly mild success is due almost entirely to the efforts of an impressively charismatic roster of actors."[6] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times wrote, "For a gross-out movie, 'Someone Marry Barry' has a respectable number of genuinely funny moments. Over all, it's still kind of crass and lowbrow, showing a particular obsession with flatulence, but there's a good-heartedness to it that somehow overrides your gut instinct to stop watching."[7]
