This film was written specifically with actors Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant and Jack Black in mind.
When Kate Winslet is browsing Cameron Diaz's movie collection, you can see very clearly on the shelf the film Enigma, which Winslet starred in.
The interior sets for Amanda's house were built on a sound stage and cost approximately $1 million, without exterior walls, a roof, plumbing, heating and electricity.
» Kate on the film
"There's a certain amount of potential for exposure as a human being that goes hand in hand with being involved in a bigger studio picture like that. And so I just had to take a deep breath and say, 'Well, first of all, do I want to play this part?' The answer was immediately yes. I might not have to fall apart weeping and drowning and dying by the end of the movie, but I actually love a good popcorn film. I love Maid In Manhattan! I love Something's Gotta Give! But then I did have to think of the other side of it, the fact that I hadn't done something that commercial since Titanic. I took a deep breath and decided it was time."
"I've never played a modern English girl in a movie. It was weirdly more intimidating because it was like, Well, I don't have an accent to hide behind. I don't have any eccentric clothing. I have to look good in these jeans and ballet flats."
