    • Trivia
      It took five years and twenty-five re-writes before David O. Russell could direct it, as Sydney Pollack told him it was tricky to have emotional, troubling, funny, and romantic content mixed together.
    • Goofs
      When Tiffany throws Pat's book and newspaper outside before one of their dance rehearsals, they refer to the book as Lord of the Flies, but the cover is that of The Great Gatsby.
    • Quotes
      • Pat: The only way you can beat my crazy was by doing something crazy yourself. Thank you. I love you. I knew it the minute I met you. I'm sorry it took so long for me to catch up. I just got stuck.
