    • Goofs
      During the abseiling party (which almost no one in America would call it), they are rapelling on ATCs which require one hand below the device to brake the rapeller. Yet E.J. is shown holding onto the ropes above the device with both hands when she panics yet she is staying in place (and there is no bottom belay as shown when she does get down).
    • Quotes

      Will Albrecht: Well, Ms. Baxter.

      E.J. Baxter: Mr. Albrecht.

      Will Albrecht: How 'bout that? We actually have something in common. We both go to the post office on Saturdays.

      E.J. Baxter: Hm. I imagine a lot of people do.

      Will Albrecht: Yeah, well, I'm sure you're right. Enjoying your day?

      E.J. Baxter: Hm. Just doing errands.

      Will Albrecht: Me too.

      E.J. Baxter: You'll be surprised to know that I haven't gotten lost once yet today.

      Will Albrecht: Well, it's not even noon yet, so... Yeah, Saturday mornings are all about errands for me, but then I always head to this little brunch place down the block.

      E.J. Baxter: Nice.

      Will Albrecht: Yeah. It's real nice. It's got great food.

      E.J. Baxter: Mmm. You enjoy yourself. Oh, do you know where the nearest Kinko's is? I never had a need to look before, but now since that calendar's *actually* happening, Jan and I can't do all the copying by ourselves. So...

      Will Albrecht: We don't have a Kinko's.

      E.J. Baxter: No Kinko's?

      Will Albrecht: No Kinko's.

      E.J. Baxter: How can that be? I thought there was a law that said there had to be a Kinko's on every corner, next to a Gap.

      Will Albrecht: We don't have a Gap either.

      E.J. Baxter: That's not even funny.

      Will Albrecht: But, I think there's one in Billings.

      E.J. Baxter: Well, I don't know where that is, but I need to go there. How close is it?

      Will Albrecht: Oh, it's not too bad. About ten hours, depending on the road conditions. Ain't it awful?

      E.J. Baxter: Mm. I'm not gonna be here forever, so don't worry.

      Will Albrecht: Oh, yeah, well, I'll try not to sweat it.

      E.J. Baxter: You know what? Just because I have a different way of doing things, doesn't make it wrong. It just makes it different. I get that you don't think I belong here. You have zero respect for what I'm trying to do, but you know what? I don't care. Not even remotely. And I get that you think that I act like I landed on the moon, but you don't have to tell me that because for the past six months, I felt like I've been living on another planet. So for the future, let's be polite and agree we disagree and leave it at that, shall we?

    decent surrogate
    like many films from the same genre, it is a surrogate. romance, crumbs from classic comedies, pieces from Jane Austen, actors in skin of legends - Kristin Chenoweth as a version of Eve Marie Saint, Josh Hopkins as a form of Cary Grant. sure, very far by original, not realistic, with a story who seems far to be coherent. but nice. and this is the most important thing in this case. because it is the only thing who could be expected. the subject is so old, the performances are far to be bad and the idea has the chance to seduce. the war between E. J. and Will is fake but the aspects from a small community from Montana looking the work for a noble cause is not real awful but could be useful. so, a film for Christmas. and it is enough !
