    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      To help her with her Minneapolis accent, Marisa Tomei asked that her driver be a native of the city. The first driver was sacked when she found out that he was from New Jersey, as was the second one when it transpired that he was originally from Texas.
    • Goofs
      When Caroline watches Adam put his sweater on he has nothing on underneath it. When she goes in to talk to him moments later, he has an undershirt sticking out from underneath the sweater, but as he was putting it on you could see he put both the sweater and undershirt on together.
    • Quotes
      • Caroline: He doesn't make sense, I don't make sense, together we make sense.
    • Alternate versions
      A scene where Marisa Tomei took off her brassiere was re-shot at a different angle. The scene from the front showing her topless was only for broadcast on European television. However, the front topless has been viewed in the United States. So Comcast Cable must be running European versions even though USA version was supposed to be PG-13-rated. The March 2019 U.S. Blu-ray release and Vudu Streaming have the European version with the topless scene.
