One of the attractions of making the film for Matthew Goode was the chance to work with Anand Tucker, having enjoyed his work on Hilary and Jackie (1998).
At one point in the film Declan asks Anna,"If your house was on fire and you could only keep one things what would it be?". Anna later tests her fiancé by pulling the fire alarm.
When Anna and Jeremy are at the restaurant, Jeremy says they "might have to go in through the spine." No surgery of any kind ever goes "through the spine," particularly any cardiac surgery. In human anatomy, the common term "spine" actually is the vertebral column. The statement made by Jeremy literally would mean you would split the patient's vertebrae to get to the heart.
Anna calls Jeremy (in Dublin) from the B&B at approximately 8:30am on a Sunday morning. He tells her that he just got off the phone after learning that the apartment was theirs. With a 5 hour time difference it is highly unlikely that the deal was closed in Boston at 3:00 am - on a Sunday, no less.
In one of the scenes where Jeremy tries to take a photo of Anna using Nokia N97, he uses the "end call" button to take the picture whereas he supposed to use the camera shutter button on the side.
Declan: Dublin, huh? Let me tell you something about Dublin. Dublin is a city of chances and cheats and back stabbing snakes. It is a city where the worst of humanity collects the poison of their country. I wouldn't advise you to go there.
The bride challenged the groom to never steal, lie or cheat. "But if you must steal," she says, "then steal away my sorrows. And if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life. And if you must cheat, then please cheat death...because I couldn't live without you."
Q
What is a leap year?
A
A leap year is a year in which there are 366 days, instead of the usual 365. The extra day occurs on 29 February and reappears every four years, always in years that are divisible by 4. The last leap year was in 2008 (2008/4 = 502) and will occur again in 2012 (2012/4 = 506). The reason an extra day is added to the calendar every four years is because the astronomical year is not a perfect 365 days; it actually takes 365.25 days. Thus, adding an extra day every four years keeps the calendar from drifting.
Q
What is a hang sandwich?
A
A ham sandwich. When said with an Irish accent, "ham" comes out sounding more like "hang".
