    • Trivia
      Apart from a few establishing shots after the animated titles, the whole movie was filmed in France, including all of the English scenes of the first act.
    • Goofs
      When they all enter the sea wearing diving kit, the back packs are very slim, yet the bags seem to hold a substantial amount of clothing.
    • Quotes

      Kate: I think that liking them is much more important than loving them, actually. Love is easy to fall into. Liking is much harder. Think of your wedding as a driving test. You take it, you pass, and then you really start to learn how to drive. Or you crash.

    • Alternate versions
      UK versions dub over a use of "motherfucker" with "melon farmers" for a 12A rating. The US version uses the same print to secure a PG-13.

    Enjoyable Fluff
    I do enjoy a good British romantic comedy. My guilty pleasure I guess. They just make you laugh and feel good, just a little escapism and shouldn't be taken seriously. Being serious, well, that's for other films. Having said that, this movie has so many things wrong with it, it should be a huge failure, but oddly enough I loved it. I thought the two leads Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson were exceptionally well cast as they were so believable and likable. The other "good guy" Anglo-Saxon characters were good and as in so many other British films, the bad guys were French. I'm not sure how to judge their performances. The French accents were really dodgy at best and totally unbelievable, but this just added to all the fun. You know what? I must just watch this again, now.
