Trivia:

Joe Fox's grandfather mentions that long ago, he briefly shared a pen pal romance with the store's previous owner, Cecilia Kelly (Kathleen's mother), and that they only communicated through letters. This may have been a reference to the movie's predecessor, The Shop Around the Corner (1940), starring James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, or possibly the famous book and the movie 84 Charing Cross Road (1987) of the same name, with Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins as a female customer in New York and a male employee of the bookstore at that address in London. more

Goofs:

Factual errors: When Joe fox is in the shop around the corner the "open/closed" sign is facing "open" side in thus "closed" side out. more

Quotes:

Kathleen Kelly: [on "NY152"] What if he showed up, took one look at me, and left?
Christina Plutzker: Not possible.

I didn't think it possible to be better than "Sleepless", an all time favourite of mine, but it was. I see a movie every week and this was definitely the one I enjoyed the most this year.
