Trivia:
At the top of the closing credits during the PoP pop-up video, one of the trivia history bubbles mentions that "Colin created a huge controversy when he declared PoP to be 'bigger than The Beatles'". This is a reference to the furor caused when Noel Gallagher of Oasis referred to the band as being "bigger than The Beatles." It can also be seen as hearkening back to the the international controversy caused by John Lennon when he declared that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ.

Goofs:
Continuity: Right when Sophie rearranges the furniture on Alex's apartment, when he says "much better" Sophie smiles at him in a very pleased way and keeps smiling but as the scene goes on the shot changes showing her so concentrated writing, which she was not doing nothing of that at all.

I'll admit it, I love this film! OK, the plot line is thinner than paint stripper, the lines more mildly amusing than witty, and the acting isn't going to win any Oscars, BUT...
it's one of those movies that just makes you feel good.
Right from the hilarious opening, showing Hugh's make-believe band "Pop" in their "MTV/VH1" hit video "Pop Goes My Heart", you can't help but smile. Obviously it is especially amusing for those of us who lived through the pop excesses of the 80s, but I have to say the teens in the audience seemed to enjoy it too.
All the songs are pure cheese (and incredibly infectious), which coupled with some amusing lines, a very lovable Hugh Grant, a very cute Drew Barrymore, and fabulous supporting roles from Kristen Johnston and Aasif Mandvi make this movie a great romantic comedy for those of us who actually enjoy a "bit of fluff".
