Directed by: Betty Thomas
Starring: Steve Buscemi, Sandra Bullock, Viggo Mortensen, Dominic West, Elizabeth Perkins
Other mistake: More than halfway through the film, after Gwen's room-mate has died of an overdose, she rings her sister on a phone that is not only "Emergencies Only", but it has no numbers on it. So how did she dial out?
Other mistake: Gwen's job is "writer," and it's clear that she doesn't have wealthy parents, or even any parents at all. So, no, she's not going to be able to afford a loft in Manhattan on that salary.
Continuity mistake: When Gwen is sitting in Cornell Shaw's office, the green man moves closer and farther away from the name plate on the desk, between the shots facing Gwen and the ones facing Cornell. (00:24:30)
Gwen Cummings: Is that available stitched on a pillow somewhere?
Trivia: On the first day, Dominic West (Jasper) was asked by the script supervisor, "Are you an alcoholic?" Well, Dominic thought to himself, "Crikey," then he felt incredibly self conscious, and so he replied, "Yeah, probably." Then the script supervisor said, "No, no! I meant your character."
Answer: He was a hard drinker who did not take her sobriety seriously, and she realised he was not good for her.
