Trivia
Clive Owen played the role of Dan in the original stage production.

Goofs
The opening action has Dan taking Alice to the hospital, staying with her in the waiting room, and the two leaving together. Unless a patient is unconscious, hospital intake always involves an interview procedure where the patient has to give their name, insurance information, and relevant medical history. To call a patient out of the waiting room, the hospital staff uses the name on the intake records, rather than shouting "hey you" to the next person to be seen. Yet, when Dan and Alice are getting ready to part ways after the bus trip away from the hospital, he says, "I don't even know your name."

Quotes
Larry: Alice, tell me something true.
Alice: Lying's the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off - but it's better if you do.

Alternate versions
There are two versions available. Runtimes are "1h 44m (104 min)" (general theatrical release) and "1h 38m (98 min) (TV) (Turkey)".

Hollywood is getting real

What an amazing concept. A story that perfectly captures the emotions that we feel when involved in a love spat. The complete desire and need for another person, wanting to hold them close to you, while at the same point in time the mere vision of seeing that person and hearing their voice sends you into utter misery and you feel repulsed by them. Jude Law is masterful in his role, and he is matched equally by the performances of Clive Owen, Natalie Portman and Julia Roberts. A brilliant movie with many mixed emotions. As soon as you think, okay, this is where they live happily ever after, another twisting tale occurs. This is as real as it gets folks. Definitely one worth purchasing when it hits DVD, apart from that, watch it on big screen and you will be amazed at how you relate to this master piece.
