Return to Me

Trivia: As director Bonnie Hunt says on the DVD commentary, she told Minnie (Grace) to hit David (Bob) really hard in the scene when she slaps him, to get a better reaction. This is why his face looks surprisingly cheerful behind his hand as he holds it to his cheek - he's trying very hard not to laugh, as he wasn't expecting it.

Other mistake: In the second scene in the Gorilla Building, Elizabeth says, "Thank you, Jeff" while talking to Charlie. Thirty seconds later she says, "Thank you, Charlie."

Bob Rueland: I miss Elizabeth. I'll always miss her. But I ache for Grace.

Question: What is the purpose or the story behind the little stuffed dog that appears in so many scenes? It's on the table when the guys are playing poker, it appears in the bowling scene too.

Answer: Presumably it's a favorite mascot of the group. There's likely no backstory per se, it's just something the filmmakers did to add to sense that these people have been together for a very long time.
