1	* ActorInspiredElement: Julia's butterfly jean jacket actually belongs to Creator/DrewBarrymore. Director Frank Coraci liked her jacket and told her to wear it as part of her costume.
2	* ApprovalOfGod: Boy George found Creator/AlexisArquette doing an impersonation of him and singing "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" hilarious.
3	* CaliforniaDoubling: The story is set in Ridgefield, New Jersey - indeed Glen works on Wall Street "in the city" presumably in Manhattan - but was filmed in California.
4	* CareerResurrection: After years of embracing a bad girl image, this film cemented Creator/DrewBarrymore as becoming a sweetheart romantic comedy actor.
5	* {{Defictionalization}}: A few bands have taken up the challenge of writing a song called "I Got Punched In The Nose For Sticking My Face In Other People's Business," the most popular one being from the {{emo}} band Boys Night Out. The closest there's ever been to a country song by that title is an indie folk track by The Man Who Loves You.
6	* PlayingAgainstType: Most of Creator/AdamSandler's roles had been [[{{Manchild}} immature guys]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold who eventually revealed a more sensitive side]]. This was the first role of his to be a fairly straightforward {{nice guy}}-with-underdog-tones, and that eventually became his new type.
7	* ReleaseDateChange: The film was originally slated for a Fall 1997 release, but got pushed back by Creator/NewLineCinema to February 1998 as they felt the {{romantic comedy}} would perform better closer to Valentine's Day.
8	* TechnologyMarchesOn: Lampshaded; Glenn brags about buying a CD player for around $1000, and Julia promptly asks to play a record on it.
9	* UncreditedRole:
10	** Creator/SteveBuscemi and Creator/JonLovitz make unbilled cameos.
11	** Creator/CarrieFisher did work on the script to make Julia's part more balanced. Creator/JuddApatow, and Creator/AdamSandler also performed uncredited rewrites.
12	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
13	** Creator/ChristopherMcDonald was considered for the role of Glenn.
14	** Creator/BettyWhite was considered for the role of Rosie.
