Trivia:
When Iris and Miles are browsing in the video store there is a cameo by Dustin Hoffman just after Jack Black performs the theme from The Graduate (1967) and in the next shot the movie cover right between Iris and Miles is Marathon Man (1976) both starring Hoffman. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Winslet and Black are in the video store, a shot behind Winslet is labelled as a rack with "Drama" but you can clearly see the films "13 Going On 30" and "10 Things I Hate About You" which are obviously not drama films. moreQuotes:
Graham: Long distance relationships can work, you know.Amanda: Really? I can't make one work when I live in the same house with someone.

Although this isn't my typical pick on movies I'd love to see, I have to say I enjoyed screening this one. The run time is a bit long, and the movie gets a bit soft in the middle, but considering you're actually watching two love stories (as opposed to one), I guess the run time is justified. It still seemed a bit forced to get the story told in a descent amount of time (still over two hours). The performances were moderate to good, with exception of Jude Law as Graham, who was wonderful.
If you're tired of holiday films that are so stacked with so much Christmas cheer that it makes you sick, this is the perfect alternative. Light enough for some serious laughs, and with enough drama to keep it interesting to audiences, this one's a good date movie. Leave the kids with a sitter. There are a few adult themes that could be uncomfortable to try to explain to a younger one.
