Trivia:
Jennifer Connelly and Liv Tyler play sisters in this film. Connelly played Betty Ross in Hulk (2003), and was replaced by Tyler in The Incredible Hulk (2008). moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: When in the movie Doug writes on the window "I love you", he writes with the finger on the glass that is covered with steam, and it looks nice, but in fact when it's cold and the windows are covered with steam, the steam is always INSIDE the room, not outside. moreQuotes:
Lloyd Abbott: You didn't know your mother at all if you think someone like me would ever stood a chance with someone like her. moreSoundtrack:
