Trivia

• The “platypus” face that Julia Roberts makes was added after director Garry Marshall saw her making that face to entertain his grandchildren.
• During the scene where Julia Roberts drives through the town square and sees Richard Gere playing slide guitar with some “locals”, Gere not only played the guitar for real but he improvised the part he was playing.
• In real life, Julia Roberts canceled her own wedding to Kiefer Sutherland only a few days before the ceremony in 1991.
