Trivia:
Megan Fox was cast in her part before Transformers (2007) was released. Director Robert B. Weide had hoped he would have been the one credited with uncovering this new talent and so after Transformers (2007) was a big hit and Fox quickly becoming an international sex symbol he remarked he was disappointed, not for her but for the fact he wasn't the one who first brought her to the cinematic stage. moreGoofs:
Continuity: At the stately home, when Sydney says, 'Do you want another drink?' and she says, 'Yeah, I'll have a half of lager,' he gets up and touches her on the shoulder, with his fingers pointing down the front of her dress. In the next shot, with his hand still on her shoulder, his fingers are now pointing down her back. moreSoundtrack:

Oh dear we don't like it when our super-hero love interest develops a brain do we?
Something has happened to people, they have lost the ability to enjoy, a simple feel-good, love story/comedy? Kirsten Dunst is a revelation - funny, sexy and real. I laughed out loud ooh at least five times and I'm not ashamed to say had a tear in my eye a couple of times too. The cast, acting and script is great, I watch a lot of films right across the board and I haven't seen one in this genre that has been as successful. Those who disagree please tell me where I can find some! I'm sure the book is good too but I think you have to judge it on its own merits.
