- Alternate Character Interpretation: Another possible reason that Lindsey left custody of the children to Helen could be because Jenny already has kids, and inheriting three more, especially while pregnant, could be too much of a strain on her.
- Crosses the Line Twice: After Audrey is caught making out with a boy in the church, Helen jokes "you are SO going to Hell."
- Moe: Sarah naturally. Audrey as well at times.
- Narm: After Helen demands that Audrey hand over her fake ID, the latter melodramatically declares "I thought you were on my side, but you're just like her!"
- Retroactive Recognition:
- While she was already appearing in multiple films, Hayden Panettierre would become far more famous for Heroes.
- Abigail Breslin would have more memorable roles in Little Miss Sunshine, My Sister's Keeper and Zombieland later in the decade.
- She Really Can Act: Some had this reaction to Kate Hudson. This is thought to be one of her more underrated performances among a string of cookie-cutter romantic comedies in the 2000s.
- Trailer Joke Decay: Sarah's "who's going to check my nose boogies for infection?" line was played in all the trailers and TV spots.
