Trivia
New York
The New York City previews were shown in the exact same theater (same building, same "room") that Meg Ryan and Greg Kinnear go into to see their movie, the Sony Lincoln Square 13 and IMAX Theater.
Real location
The location of Fox Books in the movie is actually the location of a real-life Barnes & Noble, on Broadway and 83rd Street on the Upper West Side. The Barnes and Noble generated considerable neighborhood opposition when it opened in the early 1990s, as many feared it would drive a local bookseller, Shakespeare & Co. on 81st Street, out of business. This is exactly what happened.
Crew reunion.
Director Nora Ephron reunites Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks 5 years after the success of the movie 'Something to Remember'.
