Trivia
The airport scenes for New York were filmed at London Stansted Airport during January 2021.

Goofs
Luther describes his van several times as a Sprinter, which is made by Mercedes. When the van is finally seen, it is clearly a Ford Transit van. When Hadley first meets Luther, he even says again "it's a Sprinter", yet the "Transit" name on the door of the van is prominently in the centre of the frame.

Quotes
[Last lines]
Narrator: Hadley Sullivan and Oliver Jones will kiss 12,872 times in their life together. They'll be married 58 years, have 1,462 arguments, and make love 5,787 times. Hadley will hold Oliver's hand when Tessa takes her last breath. Oliver will hold Hadley's when she takes hers. And they will both hold their daughter's hand the day she's born and marvel at her tiny fingers and how none of it would have been possible were it not for a missed flight, a broken seat belt, and a choice to love each other every day.

Crazy credits
After the spoken lines, "The Beginning..." shows up on the screen before the end credits.

95% of all romcoms are irritating. This is one of the 5%

I dislike rom coms for some very good reasons. There is rarely good chemistry between leads, there's always a childish huff involved, there's usually a cheating or suspected cheating that goes on, they're not really romantic.

This story is boy meets girl, they fall in love, fate parts them but they manage to get back together.

It's a beautiful, fabulous story, a true romance. I actually believed in every character on screen and could relate to many of the scenes. All rom coms should follow this path from now on.

The acting from everyone is sublime (Haley Lu Richardson always is), the dialogue is never cheesy, the photography is beautiful and the direction smooth and brilliantly paced. The narrator constantly popping up is a great idea and Jamil makes this work so well.

This is one of the best rom coms ever made, I love it.
