Trivia

Julia Roberts hand-picked both Dermot Mulroney and Cameron Diaz for this film.

The wedding dress worn in the opening credits is the same wedding dress worn by Jennifer Aniston's character, Rachel Green, in Friends (1994).

Drew Barrymore read for the role of Kimberly, but lost out to Cameron Diaz when Julia Roberts suggested her for the part instead.

Most of the songs in the movie were originally performed by Dionne Warwick.

P.J. Hogan wanted Russell Crowe to play the part of Michael. But the table read between Crowe and Julia Roberts went so poorly that the idea was abandoned.
