History Trivia / NoStringsAttached2011

* DuelingMovies: ''Film/FriendsWithBenefits'' was released six months after this film, and (as you might have guessed from the title) features an incredibly similar premise. And for an added bonus, the female lead of that movie is Creator/NataliePortman's ''Film/BlackSwan'' co-star, Creator/MilaKunis, who also played Creator/AstonKutcher's girlfriend on ''Series/That70sShow'' (and following Kutcher's divorce, he and Kunis would date in real life, to eventually get married). The male lead, Music/JustinTimberlake used to be in Music/{{NSYNC}}, which once released an album called ''No Strings Attached''. What's more, both films' lengths and box offices are amazingly similar — as much as it's unintended, it adds up to the coincidental-or-not double theory.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Natalie Portman spoke in one interview that studio execs refused to let her improvise anything. The thinking was since she's mostly been in drama films, [[InsaneTrollLogic she wouldn't know how to be funny]]; despite the fact that she appeared on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' once, and her role in ''Film/GardenState'' was comedic. Natalie only got one improvised moment in (the bit with the 3D Glasses), and it's possibly one of the film's [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funniest moments]].
