Trivia
The family boat used to transport Margaret and Andrew from the airport is a Wasque 26, built in Marblehead, MA - just a few miles from where the movie was filmed.
Share this
Julia Roberts was the first choice to play Margaret, but reportedly refused to take a pay cut, so Sandra Bullock took over the role.

At the immigration office, on Mr. Gilbertson's desk is a copy of the book "US Citizenship for Dummies".

Goofs
In the scene where Margaret gets in the boat and roars away, after they get out in the open water you can plainly see that they had just started the boat up and had not been going full speed the whole time.
Share this
When Andrew and Margaret first go into the immigration office, Mr. Gilbertson is reviewing Margaret's case in a plain manila envelope. When he tells them that he will see them on Monday and tosses the file, it is now a much darker folder.
Share this
While Andrew is at the door of the chairman's office the camera switches between him and Margaret with the chairman in the background. Originally the chairman was sitting with legs under the desk then he was turned out with one leg on the other and then he was back in his original position again.
