Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sandra Bullock produced this through her company Fortis Films, specifically developing it as a vehicle for her and Grant's chemistry after their failed pairing in 1999's 'Forces of Nature.'
This was Hugh Grant's last pure rom-com before his 2004 arrest and subsequent pivot to more complex roles—making it a time capsule of his 'charming disaster' era.
