Trivia:
The location of Fox Books in the movie is actually the location of a real-life Barnes & Noble, on Broadway and 83nd street on the upper west side. The Barnes and Noble generated considerable neighborhood opposition when it opened in the early 1990s, as many feared it would drive a local bookseller, Shakespeare & Co. on 81st street, out of business. This is exactly what happened. more

Quotes:
Kathleen Kelly: [on learning Joe's identity] God, I didn't... I didn't realize. I didn't... I didn't know...
Joe Fox: Who you were with? "I didn't know who you were with."
Kathleen Kelly: Excuse me?
Joe Fox: It's from The Godfather.
[laughs]
Joe Fox: Sorry, it's from The Godfather. It's when the... uh, when the movie producer realizes that Tom Hagen is an emissary of Vito Corleone. It's just before the horse's head ends up in the bed with all the bloody sheets, you know, wakes up and it's... AAHH! AAAHH! AAAHH! AAAHH!
[pause]
Joe Fox: Never mind.

I loved this movie!!, 20 December 1998
10/10
Author: anonymous from Vancouver, Canada

I didn't think it possible to be better than "Sleepless", an all time favourite of mine, but it was. I see a movie every week and this was definitely the one I enjoyed the most this year.
