1* AwesomeDearBoy: Creator/PenelopeCruz lobbied to be in the film before the script was even written because she knew Woody Allen was doing something set in Barcelona.
2* BillingDisplacement: Creator/PenelopeCruz plays a supporting character with significantly less screen time than the three leads, but received equal billing. Meanwhile one third of the film's title (Creator/RebeccaHall's Vicky) is not on the poster and her actress listed below Bardem, Cruz and Johansson.
3* CareerResurrection: Creator/WoodyAllen was brought back into prominence with this film's success. It grossed $96 million worldwide and was his most profitable film for a while.
4* FakeAmerican: Creator/RebeccaHall (Vicky) is British.
5* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: For scenes where Juan Antonio and Maria Elena speak to each other in Spanish, Creator/JavierBardem and Creator/PenelopeCruz were encouraged to improvise. As Woody Allen speaks no Spanish, he literally had no idea what they were saying until the subtitles were put into the edit.
6* ProductionPosse: Creator/ScarlettJohansson had starred in the Creator/WoodyAllen films ''Film/MatchPoint'' and ''Film/{{Scoop}}'' as well. Both those were shot outside the United States too.
7* RomanceOnTheSet: Creator/JavierBardem and Creator/PenelopeCruz started dating while making this film, and eventually married.
