Trivia:
Lady Victoria's character was loosely based on Princess Stephanie of Monaco. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Professor Boggs quotes Casablanca to Nick, saying, "In the words of the inimitable Claude Rains... 'I believe this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.'" In actuality, that was Humphrey Bogart's line, not Rains'. moreSoundtrack:

I am from Oxford so am a little bias because I recognise the location. All in all it is a good comedy that all the family can enjoy (although it is a 15). Highlights include the stereotype of an Oxford student, The stereotype of an American, and trying to name all the pubs that you see. I recommend to anyone who is from or has ever visited Oxford to watch this film because it is of the highest quality and guaranteed laughter all the way. If you can not find humor in the romantic yet slightly far fetched plot line then at least in the great characters as each one is very easy to relate to and they all have great names. This is the best advert for Oxford University that I have seen, so work hard kids and you too could be just like Nick DeAngelo.
