    • Trivia
      Dedicated to star Edward Norton's late mother Robin Norton.
    • Goofs
      Brian describes 13-year-old Anna as "a cross between Jonny Quest (1964) and Tatum O'Neal in Foxes (1980)". Tatum O'Neal wasn't in Foxes. He's either referring to Jodie Foster in Foxes, or Tatum O'Neal in Little Darlings (1980). Then again, he was drunk.
    • Quotes

      Indian Bartender: May those who love us, love us. And those who don't love us - may God turn their hearts. And if He cannot turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, so that we may know them by their limping.

    • Crazy credits
      Thank-yous include one to "Salmita Bonita", a reference to actor-director Edward Norton's girlfriend, actress Salma Hayek.
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD release features quite a few edited scenes, including:
      • Brian takes Anna to the club while it's still under construction
      • Brian tries to come into the bar with a bottle of liquor in his hand. The bartender tells him 'No Bottles', so he promptly drinks the remainder
      • Brian and Jakob walk through an art museum with Anna (featuring the scene from the Gag Reel where Anna can't say the name of the picture she's standing in front of); eventually, her cel phone rings, she has a yelling match with a co-worker, and falls in the fountain (also seen in the Gag Reel)
      • A bit with young Jakob and Brian making a kung-fu movie with a home video camera
      • Anna talking to Ruth about Jakob and Jake's brother (establishing exactly why Ruth never forgave him)
      • A piece from Jakob's date, where the woman talks about running and breast implants before having a sneezing fit and smashing her face on the table
      • Jakob tells Anna to put her pager under her skirt while she's at work, and he'll call her; two co-workers come in just as Jake starts calling, trying to get her to help them work out the numbers as she 'gets buzzed'

    Great romantic comedy without being saccharine

    It is refreshing to see a romantic comedy that is not overtly manipulative and formulaic. Edward Norton, Ben Stiller and Jenna Elfman give solid performances in their roles. Edward Norton is surprisingly good at comedy--he is wonderful as the priest yearning for romance with the likable Anna. And Ben Stiller--fabulous as the rabbi who is torn between his religion and love. His timing is impeccable--he has the ability to give depth to a character who could seem shallow in another actor's hands.

    The script had a good blend of humor and romance, which I believe is the reason why the movie works so well. Great cast, great effort from first-time director Norton, decent script equals an enjoyable movie.
