Trivia

Elisabeth Harnois was initially reluctant about wearing the pink dress, as she thought it made her look like a hooker and that it was taking it too far in being rebellious. She was eventually persuaded that it was what the right choice for the character. However, because the dress was very tight fitting, she wasn't able to wear much underneath it. With that in mind, she had to be consciously aware of her body throughout the filming.

Goofs

At the end of the movie, when Duncan and Hallie are going out for a second date, the camera pull back to show Secret Service SUVs and a helicopter following Duncan's car. The buildings are skyscrapers, which are much too tall to be Washington DC, as building codes for the District provide that no building may be taller than the Capitol, which is only 287.5 feet tall. (The Washington Monument is the only exception.)

User Reviews

Entertaining, but quite silly

I liked this movie because it's very entertaining with some jokes and funny scenes. No hard thoughts, no real dramas, no big tears, no bad emotions. It's perfect if you want to spend some time without thinking and feel good after that. The main plot idea is promising and launching some fantasies - what if...?, but plot development and some twists are quite silly. Perfect for kids and not-nihilistic teens.

9 for entertainment; 4 for silly plot
