Goofs:

Anachronisms: Jeff jokingly tells his fiancé, Sarah, that his family is like the movie "Titanic", and goes on to talk about nude sketches of himself - obviously a reference to Titanic (1997). The movie is set in January 1997, while Titanic wasn't released until December of that year.

Quotes:

Sarah: This isn't The Graduate, this is Deliverance!

Movie Connections:

References Titanic (1997)

Soundtrack:

Theme from 'A Summer Place'

Funny and fabulous; yet emotional and heartbreaking

Don't listen to the critics. What is wrong with movies being fun and entertaining?? people are getting too serious about the films they see. I myself love both drama and comedy; so this one was perfect, because it was both combined.

Jennifer Aniston was not miscast, because this is exactly the kind of movie Jennifer is famous for. I am always a little reluctant at first to see her films, because I think I am always going to see Rachel Greeene from "Friends 1994-2004 on the screen. But I loved this one, it was new and fresh; a different kind of romantic comedy told differently.

Jennifer also has been in many other "Non Rachel" movies such as "The Good Girl "Rockstar" "Derailed", and "The Object of my affection. In "Rumor Has It she is wonderful, and has some very very funny moments, Shirley is fabulous. I liked Kevin Cosnter personally, he was great and perfect for the role.

I laughed so hard during this film, and saw it 3 times in threatres. Rent it, or see it in threatres before its to late! I am definitely buying this one of DVD.
