Trivia
[1] In the DVD/Video version, when Nicole gives her monologue about yearning for the Naval Officer,
she mouths the words "We made love." But the words "You and I made love," are heard. This was
done to clear up the confusion about whom she actually made love to.
[2] Continuity error - When Alice is lying in bed telling Bill her dream, we first see the blanket is moved
down exposing her hip, haunch, and thigh. Immediately afterwards, the blanket is covering her up to her waist.
[3] The tremendous hype around the release of this film resulted in several rumors about the plot.
The most widely circulated was the mistaken rumor that in the film, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman
played married psychiatrists having affairs with their patients.
[4] Opened at #1 at the US Box Office.
[5] Nicole won the Favorite Actress - Drama/Romance award at the 2000 Blockbuster Awards for her role as Alice.
[6] Continuity error - When they are smoking pot and have the arguement, when 'Tom' says "a couple of models"
he's got his hand on Nicole's hip and the next moment it's down on the bed.

"She's one of those actresses whom you're slightly in awe of. You imagine her as the movie star from the front covers of magazines, that she's untouchable and that somehow gets in the way of her being human and funny. But she really is good fun. You meet her and discover she's just funny and girly. She's really giggly and you can make her laugh - a lot! I'd be very rude in front of her, swear and belch, and she'd say "Ew-an! - like a big sister with her younger brother." - Ewan McGregor on Nicole
