Trivia:
During filming, animal rights activists showed up with the intention to make sure all the fish were treated correctly. After viewing the script, and realizing that the title of the film was really more about cheating 'fish' that actually shooting it, they left somewhat embarrassed. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Georgie stands up at the roof-top pond, she casts a shadow on the background sunrise. moreSoundtrack:

This movie is practically my all time favorite. At least favorite comedy. It is absolutely brilliant, with lovely actors hilarious script, everything really.
Jez (Stuart Townsend) is very cute and just incredible. Georgie (Kate Beckinsale) is almost like I would have wanted to be if I could choose.
I love this movie so much, and I laughed just as much when I'd seen it three times as after the first.
