Continuity mistake: As Harold and Sarah approach the stairs outside their home, after saying goodbye to a funeral guest, Nick is sitting on the edge of the stairs and says "Hi" to them. Harold has his arm around Sarah's waist from the rear camera angle, as it cuts to a front angle his arm is on her shoulder. (00:24:15)
Trivia: A group of old college friends reunite at the funeral of Alex, another old college friend. The part of Alex, the corpse, who is only partially seen in the unusual opening credits with the undertaker, is played by Kevin Costner, in one of his first roles on film.
