Continuity mistake: Every time they show the outside of the bookstore, on the left you see the same adult drying a child's tears. (00:17:55)

Continuity mistake: When William takes Anna back to his flat, after the orange juice incident. His shirt is stained, she comes into the flat and changes. Then she leaves. When she returns to get her books, his shirt is still stained but after she kisses him the stain is gone. An impressive kiss... (00:16:45)

Continuity mistake: In one scene in the bookstore, there are three copies of a guide to Germany on the table next to Hugh Grant. In one clip, there are three spines, in the next two of the books have been turned round.
Trivia: The house with the blue door (William's residence) was formerly the home of the movie's screenplay writer, Richard Curtis.
Trivia: Rhys Ifans didn't wash himself for two weeks in the lead-up to this movie in order to get himself into the role of Spike.
Trivia: Throughout the whole film, Anna never refers to William by his actual name, either in conversation or when addressing him directly.
Anna Scott: I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
Question: What did it say on the bench in the garden they climbed over the fence for?
Question: In one scene, Hugh Grant and his crazy roommate are talking, the roommate says something about Pandora's Box. He then goes on, "I knew a girl called Pandora, never got to see her box." I understand the no seeing box joke but what is 'Pandora's Box'? I've heard it mentioned before.
Answer: It's a tale from mythology. Details can be found here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora's_box.

Answer: "For June who loved this garden - from Joseph who always sat beside her." And below that, "June Wetherby 1917-1992" with a picture of a three leaf clover underneath. Upon seeing the inscription, Julia Roberts comments, "some people *do* spend their whole lives together."
