Trivia:

Jane tells Eddie that she was a cheerleader at Paul G. Blazer Memorial High in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ashley Judd did attend Paul G. Blazer High School which is actually in Ashland, Kentucky. However, she goes on to say that the Tomcats were the state football champs in 1989. The Ohio State high school football champs were the Fighting Tigers of Ironton, Ohio - rivals of the Tomcats of Ashland, KY.

Goofs:

Continuity: Eddie starts feeding Jane noodles with his left hand, then is seen feeding her with his right hand as camera angles changes.

Quotes:

Jane:Eddie, did you ever find a roommate?
Eddie:Well, no actually.
Ray:You're moving in with Eddie?
Jane:[to Eddie] Because the place I was supposed to move into just suddenly fell apart and I was wondering if the offer was still good.
Ray:You're moving in with Eddie?
Jane:[to Ray] Maybe.
[to Eddie]
Jane:What's it like?
Eddie:2 bedroom loft, big kitchen, lots of windows...
Jane:Sounds amazing. When can I see it?

'You' will love it!!!

Despite what critics had to say, I loved this movie. It was one of the few romantic comedies that I actually like. It isn't the best movie in the world, but it certainly isn't the worst movie in the world. To be honest, I only saw it because I love Ashley Judd. She does not give the best performance in the movie though. Hugh Jackman does. He's a fantastic actor. He was great in X-MEN, SWORDFISH, and he's great in this. I like him as one of the romantic leads and I hope to see him in more romantic comedies and I hope to see more romantic comedies like this.
