| 2 | * TheDanza: Creator/JuliaRoberts playing Julianne Potter. |
| 3 | * DawsonCasting: Kimmy was age 20 according to the script; Cameron Diaz was 25 years old by the end of filming. |
| 4 | * FocusGroupEnding: The original ending was to have [[spoiler: Julianne hooking up with a random guy at the wedding reception, which audiences complained was an AssPull happy ending, that made it look like Julianne was still being rewarded after all of her terrible behaviour. Audiences also wanted to see more of George, so instead the ending was changed so that George appears at the reception instead to comfort her]]. |
| 5 | * MissingTrailerScene: There is different dialog for the ladies room scene. This version has more of a WasItAllALie tone. |
| 6 | -->'''Kimmy:''' I trusted you! Just tell me why! |
| 7 | -->'''Julianne:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Why did you trust me?]] |
| 8 | -->'''Kimmy:''' [[SuddenlyShouting NO! WHY DID YOU PRETEND TO BE MY FRIEND?!]] |
| 9 | * PlayingAgainstType: The movie starts out passing off Creator/JuliaRoberts 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''. |
| 10 | * QueerCharacterQueerActor: Both Creator/RupertEverett and his character George are gay. |
| 11 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 12 | ** Creator/SarahJessicaParker was offered the role of Julianne, but was busy with her upcoming starring role on ''Series/SexAndTheCity''. |
| 13 | ** Creator/RussellCrowe auditioned for Michael 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. |
| 14 | ** 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. |
| 15 | ** Several actresses auditioned for Kimberley, including Creator/DrewBarrymore, Creator/LauraDern, Creator/CalistaFlockhart, and 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. |
