    • Trivia
      (at around 38 mins) During the birthday dinner scene, Anna Scott is asked how much she made on her last film, and her reply is $15 million. This is the amount Julia Roberts was paid for her role in this movie.
    • Goofs
      Three separate times during the movie, the same mother and child are seen in the alley beside William's book shop. All three times this person and child are wearing the same clothes and are in the same physical position. According to the chronology of the film, they would have been standing in that same spot, not moving, for over a year.
    • Quotes

      Anna Scott: Can I stay for a while?

      William: You can stay forever.

    • Crazy credits
      The coloured dots and symbols pop up in time with the music (And when the word 'heart' is sung, a litte red heart appears)

    Funny and Touching ...
    This movie is almost entirely character driven and it is great. It's very funny, positive and enjoyable. The story is very simple - classic boy meets girl (or vice-versa) scenario. However, Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts' outstanding performances propel this movie to greatness.

    Hugh Grant delivers one of his best 'average, humble' guy performances in this movie. Many of his lines were some of the most witty and clever dialog I've heard in a while. Almost reminds me of how Jimmy Stewart could mumble lines and come off as brilliant.

    Julia Roberts was sparkling as a somewhat forward but grounded movie star that one could relate to. It was pleasant to see lots of big smiles from Julia.

    The other characters were literally 'characters' - bizarre, off-beat, odd-ball, goofy - but at heart warm and enjoyable to watch.

    If you're in the mood for a good laugh and pleasant movie-going experience, this is a great movie to watch.
