1* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget: $75 million. Gross: $46-some million domestically, $68-some million worldwide.
2* CaliforniaDoubling: Although the film supposedly takes place in a small New England town, most scenes were filmed in Coupeville and Friday Harbor, Washington.
3* EnforcedMethodActing: Creator/SandraBullock and Creator/NicoleKidman really did get drunk during the midnight margaritas scene.
4* FakeAmerican: The American Gillian Owens is played by the Australian Creator/NicoleKidman.
5* FakeNationality: Creator/GoranVisnjic (a Croat) stars as Jimmy Angelov (a Bulgarian).
6* TheOtherMarty: The film was originally scored by Music/MichaelNyman [[PlayingAgainstType of all people]], but his rather intense music was thrown out at a very late stage. As in "posters up with his name in the credits and soundtrack albums with two Nyman cuts in stores" late. Music/AlanSilvestri had to rescore the movie in only two weeks, providing a gentler score, and the albums were repressed with two ''Silvestri'' cuts (but you can still find copies with the Nyman music. If you dare. One of his two pieces is also on a Nyman compilation album).
7* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: The resemblance between Creator/NicoleKidman as Gillian and Creator/EvanRachelWood as Kylie (Sally's daughter) is uncanny. And helps drive home the GenerationXerox theme of the film.
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Music/MichaelNyman originally scored ''Practical Magic'', but he was replaced by Music/AlanSilvestri shortly before the film's release.
