* TheCameo: Several, mostly in the New York section (Mandy Patinkin, Eve, Kevin Smith, Alexander Siddig). Noel Clarke, meanwhile, approaches Creator/MNightShyamalan levels of self-adoration (say what you like about Shyamalan, but at least ''he'' hasn't appeared on any of his films' posters); he plays Emma Roberts' boss and having written the script, he has her describe him as hot ("Strangely sexy though").

* DawsonCasting: It's not clear exactly what age the girls are but since college is mentioned and they all live at home (apart from ultra-rich Cassandra), they are most likely around 18 or 19, which means this trope is mostly averted — except for the 23-year-old Ophelia Lovibond [Shannon] (who ironically ''looks'' the youngest of the girls).

''4.3.2.1'' is a British comic-dramatic crime thriller co-directed by Noel Clarke (who also wrote the script and played one of the supporting characters) and Mark Davis. It stars EmmaRoberts, Tamsin Egerton, Ophelia Lovibond and Shanika Warren-Marland.

The film follows four young women over three days in London and New York as they try to deal with personal problems and get slightly mixed up in an international diamond heist. Think of it as a British version of ''Film/{{Go}}'' and you wouldn't be a million miles off.
