    Weren’t most of the “stars” in this movie only there because someone involved called in favors?

      Yep, and it was actually made over a long time, whenever the actors were between projects and a few days of shooting playing something different sounded nice. Also, each famous actor was used to goad the next. (Specifically, the Hugh Jackman-Kate Winslet segment which was shot first.) And the segments themselves were also directed by stars like Bob Odenkirk or Elizabeth Banks.
