Trivia
Rick Springfield, who plays Greg, is a popular singer and when he was offered the role in the movie he decided to cancel his first tour in Australia, his native country, in twenty years. He also stated that if Jonathan Demme and Meryl Streep asked him to clean their cars he would bring the bucket of water and he would cancel his gig.
The scene with Linda (Ricki), and Greg arrive in "Indianapolis" for Josh's wedding and they are at a Best Western is actually a Best Western in Nyack, NY.
'Ricki' is the third collaboration in the big screen between Meryl Streep and Mamie Gummer, who are mother and daughter. We've seen them before in 'Heartburn', Gummer's debut, and 'Evening'.
