Trivia:

When Matthew Perry first goes to Amy's apartment, she asks him "Are you always this nervous?" This is the same question 'Bruce Willis (I)' asks him when they first go for a car ride in The Whole Nine Yards (2000). Both times the response is "yes."

Goofs:

Continuity: The taxi cab Amy and Oscar take after leaving the restaurant (where they ate the tuna melt) changes from a newer model car they pulled over (and whose handle they broke), to an older boxier model in the cut scene with them driving away in the rain, then back to the same newer model they pulled over in the first place.

Quotes:

Oscar Novak: I'm never going to have sex again!
Peter Steinberg: Oh, of course you will. Just maybe not with a woman.

Familiar, but fun.

It's true. Actors can take a tired movie plot and make it good. And this movie is a lot like that. Matthew Perry and Neve Campbell have chemistry and Oliver Platt was fun as Matthew's friend. I went in expecting the worst, especially since Entertainment Weekly gave it an "F", but I really thought it was good.
