Trivia

When Jack Black is singing the tune from "The Graduate" in the video store, the guy who tuts and gets annoyed is Dustin Hoffman, who starred in the Graduate. Apparently his cameo was unplanned, he noticed the cameras and stopped by, and it was decided he should make his small appearance. See more...

Continuity: In the scene where Amanda has come downstairs after "never having that much to drink", her leggings are pink. Then it shoots to Graham, and back to Amanda, and her leggings are suddenly a dark brown. This definitely wasn't a trick of the light.

Factual error: The outside view of Kate Winslet's 'cottage' is not a cottage at all - in England it would be considered a large detached house and it has several rooms on the upper floor. However, the inside depicts an actual cottage: there is only one bedroom (Cameron Diaz's brother has to sleep on the sofa), the bathroom is too small for a regular sized bath, and the downstairs only has a couple of rooms. So the outside view of the house is large, whilst the interior is depicted as tiny.
