Trivia:

Some scenes differ slightly from those in the trailer: - The line "You can't tell the truth, you idiot" from the trailer has "asshole" instead of "idiot" in the movie. - The text of the Jaguar ad reads "for men who want special attention" in the trailer and "for men who want hand jobs" in the movie. more

Quotes:

Kathy: You may think phone service stinks since deregulation, but don't mess with us, because we're all you've got. In fact, if we fold, you'll have no damn phones. AT&T - we're tired of taking your crap! more

A "video nice" to counteract all the video nasties., 2 April 2002
7/10
Author: Guy Chapman from United Kingdom

This is not the most intellectually stimulating film ever made. Nor is it the most believable plot - but it is funny, whimsical and charming, and occasionally surreal. If you want a film to brighten up your life, this fits the bill just nicely. The supporting cast are also very engaging, being far more than just a backdrop to Moore and Hannah. I like it a lot.
