Trivia
Robert Downey Jr. has said of this film at the Robert Downey, Jr. Film Guide website: "At the time, I was working at a restaurant called Central Falls as a busboy, a lot of friends of mine were all auditioning for this. I had four weeks work in 'Baby It's You', and I told all my friends I was now, officially, a major talent and film star, and then they cut my scenes out. You don't even see me except in one scene, you see me in the background, until this self-indulgent actress leans forward to try and get more camera time. My friends called it 'Maybe It's You'."

Goofs
When Sheik and Jill leave on their trip to the New Jersey shore, they cross a large bridge that has the slogan "Trenton Makes - The World Takes" on it. This bridge actually takes you from Trenton into Morrisville, Pennsylvania.

Great movie

I echo the comments of the other review posted here. The movie seems very uneven, and that adds to its lure. The interaction of Spano and Arquette seems all at once real and surreal. Any movie which makes me think of it into the next day, must have significant substance. It is rare to consider "uneven" a positive quality to a movie, but somehow this one pulls it off..
