Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All

Movie Goof (continuity error): When Jake and Melanie are talking inside of Jake's house, Jake is standing in front of some candles, and one goes out. In the next shot, it is burning again.
An entire character (along with a subplot about her) was deleted from the film, when test audiences consistently misunderstood her relationship with Andrew. Erin Vanderbilt (played by Katharine Towne) survives in the finished movie only in a newspaper wedding announcement shown to Melanie during the closing credits.
Jake's plane lands on Lake Peachtree in Peachtree City, Georgia. It is illegal to land a plane on Lake Peachtree, and the Peachtree City Police issued the movie company a $300 ticket.
Movie Goof (plot holes): When Andrew surprises Melanie at the battlefield. She is only stopping by to say bye to her dad before she heads back to New York. Why would Andrew show up to surprise her if she was supposed to be leaving? He would have called her at some point before flying halfway across the country to see what kind of plans she had before he randomly showed up.
