Bruce Nolan, a television reporter in Buffalo, N.Y., is discontented with almost everything in life despite his popularity and the love of his girlfriend Grace .

Did You Know?

Trivia

A crane was blown over by strong winds during shooting. It was reported at the time that Jennifer Aniston, who was standing with her back to the crane, didn't see it toppling towards her but Jim Carrey pushed her out of the way in time to avert a serious accident. Jim Carrey subsequently played down the extent of the peril, and said that the stories were exaggerated. Jennifer Aniston has since denied that she was even there. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Grace talks about the AB+ blood type as if it's rare and high in demand. In reality, AB+ is the least in demand because AB+ can accept any other blood type. O- is the most in demand because it can be donated to any other blood type. See more »
