    • Trivia
      During the opening and closing credits, the music is from W.A. Mozart's Serenade # 13 for strings in G Major, K. 525, better known as "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik". In addition, the music during the scene where Michael is helping Granny out of her wet clothes and then again during several subsequent scenes involving Granny is a re-write of a portion of the 1st movement from Beethoven's Piano Concerto # 5, also known as the "Emperor" Concerto. It is uncertain why this went unmentioned in the movie's credits, as if James Newton Howard was the original composer of this music.
    • Quotes

      Nick: You know, I've never been faithful to anyone in my life. I just told Irenka about someone and, uh, she did not take it too well. If there's trouble, I just feel trapped and miserable, and I just wanna' go.

      Michael: If you have to choose between grief and nothing, you'd choose grief.

      Nick: [scoffing] Huh. What's that gotta' do with anything?

      Michael: Just something William Faulkner said.

      Nick: Yeah, well, fuck that. This is me we're talkin' about. I'd choose nothin'. Grief's fucked. It's just depressing when these things end, you know?

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits, the final black and white MGM logo stencil (just before the final live-action MGM logo with the lion) says 'Sisters From Metro Goldwyn Mayer' ('Sisters' in italics). This may indicate that the movie might have originally been titled 'Sisters'.

    10/10

    One of the sexiest and smartest American sex comedies of recent years.

    American college student Patrick Dempsey travels to beautiful Quebec City to spend Christmas with girlfriend Jennifer Connelly, who informs him upon arrival that she's no longer in love with him. Spending the vacation with her eccentric family -- including nudist/Pascal expert Andre Gregory, staunch Catholic Florinda Balkan and the luscious Sheila Kelley -- teach him a thing or two about the mysteries of life, love and women.

    Cleverly written and gorgeously mounted -- wait til you see that house -- "Some Girls" is the kind of offbeat and eccentric comedy that the French often do so well but Americans rarely attempt. Little-seen upon its initial release, the film has developed a well-deserved cult following.
