    • Trivia
      Ben Affleck signed onto the film with the belief that it'd support his brother Casey Affleck in his first leading role, while he played a small uncredited role. He was surprised to see his name in the trades as a headline for signing onto the film.
    • Goofs
      Although apparently set on New Year's Eve 1981, numerous automobile designs that were introduced well after 1981 are visible in various shots.
    • Quotes

      Jack: Look, what happened between us last night is like this ongoing problem with me. It happens all the time: I meet someone, we go home together, but then the next day it's...

      Cindy: What? Next day what?

      Jack: Well, they tell me that suddenly they've developed these feelings for me.

      Cindy: What are you saying, that every woman you go home with falls in love with you or something?

      Jack: Yes! It's like a curse! It never ends!

      Cindy: A woman falls in love with you and you think that's a curse?

      Jack: You have no idea!

      Cindy: No! I don't! Because I think you're lucky! I mean, there are some people who wait their entire lives for somebody to tell them they feel that way about them, and you, you just throw it away like it's nothing, like it's a minor inconvenience! Well let me tell you something, Jack, you are cursed - just not the way you think you are.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of credits Disco Cabie can be heard saying, "If you only remember one thing I've said, remember this; James Brown is the baddest motherf@cker in show business."

    Cleverly Disguised chick-flick
    This movie had a lot of bad things said about it upon its release, but my girlfriend dragged me to it anyway. I didn't really like it, but after extended conversation, we realized exactly what we were dealing with.

    And that is, a movie before its time. Most all cinema, both in and out of Hollywood, is brought to us by upper-class white males, complete with their beliefs, morals, what have you. One would argue, then, that even if a film came from someone who was not an upper-class white male would still have to work within that system, probably even being influenced by it, in order to get a film made.

    Note, then, that this film was written by a woman, and directed by a woman. The characters in it are not testoserone-driven or in any way the pumped-up dumbed-down characters we have seen in recent decades. They are sensitive, but open to communication, a little irrational at times, but still human. They are characters from the female mind, a female psychology, and have very feminine ways in interacting with each other.

    Then note that is was probably marketed by the same male-dominated Hollywood.

    This is, of course, mostly backed up with the amount of psychology classes I have taken, but the simple version is that when this movie was new, I discussed it with many of my friends. All of the men either had no desire to see it, or hated it. Every single one of the women thought it was excellent.

    Granted, this is a common rationale used by people who think themselves movie critics, but just you try seeing with a member of the opposite sex, and see how your opinions differ.

    This is the first movie of a New Hollywood, tho it will certainly not be remmebered as such. Check it out and see what I mean.
