Trivia:

After their all-nighter, Nadine and Owen are seen coming out of a movie theatre showing Sidewalks of New York (2001), which was produced by director Brian Burns, and directed by his brother Edward Burns.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At one point, Jack makes a reference to "the moons of Venus", but Venus has no natural satellites. However, he indicated some annoyance at Chloe's obsession with astrology and may simply not have known.

Quotes:

Nadine: She didn't break you heart, she bruised your ego.

I agree with some comments however...

This is a nice little film that although not very original is still charming enough to watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon. I think some of the comments that are posted here are much too harsh. When someone says why would anyone stay with such a bitch as Denise Richard's character well the answer is very obvious. The lead character is a guy, and well sometimes all we guys see is the outer beauty. The lead character is willing to overlook the fact that she is a horrible person. We have all tried to hang on to a girl who when in perspective we look back and think "what the hell was I thinking?" I am sure that girls have had the same experiences in their lives. I think the guy was a little whinny though, and after a period of a few months he should have just let her go. Milla is so cute and sweet, you keep thinking to yourself, is this guy blind or what. That is the problem with love, it tends to make fools of us all. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes not. I recommend renting this one if only to look at some of the situations and say to yourself, hey that is me!
