Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAsked by director Frank Coraci to polish the script, Carrie Fisher spent six months on it, making it her special mission to add "heart and strength and dimension" to the Drew Barrymore character, Julia. Thereafter, when she was asked what her secret sauce was for script doctoring, she'd reply: "Make the women smarter - and the love scenes better."
- GoofsFrank and Rosie are supposed to be celebrating their 50th anniversary. However, the picture on the wall of their wedding is dated 1948, which is attuned to the film's release date in 1998. The film is set sometime in the 1980s.
- Quotes
Robbie: [singing] I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad / Carry you around when your arthritis is bad / All I wanna do is grow old with you. / I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches / build you a fire if the furnace breaks / Oh it could be so nice, growin old with you. / I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold. / Need you, feed you, I'll even let you hold the remote control. / So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink / Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink. / Oh I could be the man to grow old with you. / I wanna grow old with you.
- Crazy creditsOn the VHS version, after the credits there are three Karaoke style 80's songs.
- Alternate versionsThe Extended Version, available on USA DVD and Blu-Ray, UK DVD and Blu-Ray is known as the "Totally Awesome Edition" adds around three minutes to the Theatrical Version and features an uncontentious additional dialogue scene where Robbie talks to Rosie about penis size.
