* DeletedScene: [[https://youtu.be/mkpp2Pu8--Q Nearly 30 minutes worth]]. Mostly just fleshing out sequences in the movie, but one huge chunk eliminates the fact that Erin collapsed from her illness--the cold she has turns out to be meningitis--and is hospitalized for a while.

* CareerResurrection: Creator/JuliaRoberts, who suffered a breakdown in the mid-'90s, career-wise with flops such as ''Film/{{Hook}}'', ''Film/ILoveTrouble'', ''Film/MichaelCollins'', and ''Film/MaryReilly'', and personally with her break-up with Creator/KieferSutherland, was slowly rebuilding her career in the tail end of the decade, with hits like ''Film/MyBestFriendsWedding'', ''Film/{{Stepmom}}'', ''Film/NottingHill'', and ''Film/RunawayBride''. It was this film not only becoming a hit, but also winning her an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Actress, that revived her stardom.
