** Creator/JuliaRoberts had selected Dermot Mulroney and Creator/CameronDiaz as the actors in the film. Others in contention Creator/RussellCrowe auditioned for the roles of Julianne, Kimberly and Michael include Creator/CalistaFlockhart, and was initially director P.J. Hogan's first choice. But then Crowe did a table read with Julia Roberts where he read the lines in mono-tone and refused to make eye contact with Roberts. Suffice it to say, he didn't get the part.
** Creator/MatthewPerry was also considered for Michael, but he and Roberts had recently dated, and Hogan worried about the effect this might have on-set.
** Several actresses auditioned for Kimberley, including
Creator/DrewBarrymore, Creator/LauraDern, Creator/BrendanFraser Creator/CalistaFlockhart, and Creator/MatthewPerry.Creator/ReeseWitherspoon. Roberts preferred Barrymore, but Hogan pushed for Creator/CameronDiaz. Roberts agreed to Diaz on the condition that Hogan cast her good friend Creator/DermotMulroney for Michael.

* PlayingAgainstType: The movie starts out passing off Julia Roberts in her usual rom-com role...until it becomes clear later in the film that she's actually the VillainProtagonist. This sleight-of-hand is basically why the film ''works''.
