| Trivia | Sidney Lumet said that the scene between Philip Seymour Hoffman and Marisa Tomei in the car when Hoffman has his breakdown was one of the most extraordinary scenes of acting with which he had ever been involved. See more » |
| Goofs | In the scene where Andy and Gina are discussing whether they should leave for Rio, she mentions that there are no extradition treaties between Brazil and the United States. This is not true, although her comment was actually more a jab at her husband than actual knowledge. See more » |

Andrew 'Andy' Hanson:

The, the total is always the sum of its parts. It's, uh, clean. It's clear. Neat, absolute. But my life, it, uh, it doesn't add up. It, uh... Nothing connects to anything else. It's, uh... I'm not, I'm not the sum of my parts. All my parts don't add up to one... to one me, I guess. Justin: Get a shrink or a wife. Andrew 'Andy' Hanson: Uh, I got a wife. Justin: Get a shrink. See more » |
