Crew or equipment visible: When Will starts calling people to reserve seats, the camera starts going around Will and for a few seconds, you can see a grip off to the far right (visible in wide-screen only).

Quotes:

Charlie: I can't believe you're letting him go. I mean, don't you know about New York girls? Besides being incredibly hot, they have no problem with casual sex, which by the way I totally respect.
Emily: What if Charlie's right?
Will Hayes: Charlie's never right. He's functionally retarded.

A nice romantic movie for the nostalgic viewer

As usual with romantic comedies, don't believe much of the negative critique you read about this movie. The move is very entertaining, very romantic, and will play on your nostalgic side if you have one. If you're a 20 something that has been in and out of some significant relationships, this will hit close to home, in a positive way. I wouldn't suggest this movie for a first date because it's not quite light-hearted and happy enough. Watch this one on a second or third date OR watch it with someone you've known for a while who you are about to reveal your feelings to. I promise you - it'll set you up nicely...
