    • Trivia
      When Kristina and Michelle Kennedy were in college, they found out that Diane Keaton was doing a book signing in Southampton, New York. They showed up and when Keaton was doing signings, they placed the photo for Keaton to sign. Keaton remarked on the photo that she'd been thinking about the twins the other day. When she went to sign, she looked at the sisters, back to the photo and realized it was them. Keaton subsequently got up and hugged them both. The sisters later went onto become teachers.
    • Goofs
      The film takes place roughly over a year, but Elizabeth barely ages from the beginning to the end of the film.
    • Quotes

      Fritz Curtis: [to an executive] This is Elizabeth. J.C. is taking care of her for a while.

      J.C. Wiatt: Well, Fritz, I'm actually keeping her a little longer than that.

      Fritz Curtis: Oh? How long?

      J.C. Wiatt: [distracted] Oh, forever!

    Charming Comedy
    Diane Keaton IS this movie. Without her, it wouldn't have worked so well. Funny and touching, with a bit of sophisication.
