Trivia:
Ted Demme told Timothy Hutton to kiss Natalie Portman on the cheek. She did not know it so her reaction in the film is spontaneous. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the piano scene at Johnson Inn while flirting with Willie, Andera (trying to show her coolness and "guy knowledge") says "Pitchers and catchers report in two months, three weeks and six days." Since the movie takes place a few days after Christmas, this time frame would have Spring Training beginning around last week of March/beginning of April... when Pitchers and Catchers would really report around early February. more
Quotes:
Paul: Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope... more

Thoroughly Enjoyable, 6 November 2004
10/10
Author: sponge3 from Las Vegas, Nevada

I love this movie. Too bad Demme is Donne because this is great work. Every single role is believable and not over-acted. Maybe it's my 30 something mind working but this is a great movie to sit down and enjoy. Nothing blows up and I can't recall a single car chase but if you can allow yourself to get involved with a storyline, this is for you.

You can fall in love with Natalie Portman and I don't know that I've ever seen Rapaport in a better role. There isn't anyone more anti Rosie Odonell than me, but even her role is great. The bad news for friends and family is that I've stolen many lines from this flick because I'm not original enough to come up with my own stuff.

"What's he all creased about"

I would be first in line to purchase a (another) DVD that is Dolby Digital and has some extras. Lastly, don't miss the soundtrack, there is a great blend of feel good music along with some new, cool licks.
