Trivia:

Ari Graynor (Caroline) improvised her whole speech at the Port Authority when Kevin Corrigan decided he wouldn't say a word during his scene.

Goofs:

Factual errors: The scenes at the Port Authority Bus Terminal show employees wearing "MTA" uniforms (ticket clerk and cleaning woman). The MTA does not operate the PABT and certainly would not be involved with any buses to New Jersey. The scenes definitely appear to be in the PABT, but those responsible for the costumes must have assumed they were supposed to be in Penn Station (where MTA operates the Long Island Railroad). Maybe the book had them being from Long Island.

Quotes:

Nick: What's your name, man?
Beefy Guy: Whatever you want it to be.
Nick: [talking to Dev] He's creepy.

John Hughes Meets Kevin Smith And Wow! - One of the better date movies ever---

I've seen a ton of romantic comedies, some are good, some are awful; very few are really really good....

You guessed it... wow! Did we love this: smart, dippy, cutting, funny in all shades of funny, sweet romantic with a down low low-fi edge, up to date and even occasionally over the top this was far and away our favorite romantic comedy of the year and I'm giving it a solid ten in its genre.

Need to go on a date movie? This is your bucket of chicken - I promise you'll leave feeling lighter and curly wurly.

Very well directed by Peter Sollett it really brings an affection to its making and he's a name to look out for if you ask us...

All in all kind of our bag through and through... go see...
