    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The students seen in several scenes at UC Berkeley are actual Berkeley students; the movie was filmed while classes were in session.
    • Goofs
      There is no way that Jennifer and Amy, as college students, would be able to afford such an apartment in the Bay Area (especially in San Francisco, which is an illogical place to live for Berkeley students anyway).
    • Quotes

      Ryan: What?

      Jennifer: What? This. This, what is this?

      Ryan: I don't know! Nothing's going on.

      Jennifer: Really? Because I just ran into Megan and she told me that you broke up with her. Is that what this is about? Because I thought I told you not to tell her anything.

      Ryan: Yeah, I know.

      Jennifer: Well are you upset?

      Ryan: No!

      Jennifer: So what's going on?

      Ryan: I don't know! Things are different.

      Jennifer: But I thought we talked about that. Ryan, I thought that we said that we didn't want anything to be different. I thought we said that having sex was just a huge mistake and - and I mean, I mean it was weeks ago now, I thought we'd go back to being just friends, I thought that that would just...

      Ryan: Why was it a mistake?

      Jennifer: What?

      Ryan: You and me. Why was that a mistake? I'm curious.

      Jennifer: I thought we talked about it, what - you wanna go over it again?

      Ryan: No, you wanna talk - let's talk. Was it a mistake because anything that even comes close to real intimacy freaks you out? Or just that I'm not good enough for you?

      Jennifer: Ryan, you - you kissed me and - and I responded. But I wouldn't have done it if I thought it was gonna end our friendship.

      Ryan: And neither would I.

      Jennifer: Ryan, if I could take it all back, I would.

      Ryan: Take it. It's yours. Put it on the shelf with all your other one-night stands.

      Jennifer: Why are you doing this?

      Ryan: Look, that night was as much a surprise to me as it was to you. But being with you was like going to a place that I had never been before. And after you fell asleep I just laid there, staring up at those cheap fluorescent stars you have stuck on your ceiling, and - after a while they just started forming a pattern, this weird glow-in-the-dark pattern that linked together our entire relationship. And for the first time everything seemed clear to me - like one logical progression. It felt like you and I were the greatest plan ever made and I had nothing to do with it. Being with you made me feel that maybe I didn't have to keep planning anymore because it felt like I was actually living. And that for once in my life I wouldn't have to work so hard at being happy. That it could just happen. Nothing will ever hurt me as much as your reaction to that same experience.

      Jennifer: Ryan...

      Ryan: What, what - you wanna go hang out at the library and pretend like nothing happened? I can't do that.

      Jennifer: I'm sorry. I'm sorry - I don't know what to say.

      Ryan: Look, you don't have to say anything. I have to go. Have fun in Italy.

    • Crazy credits
      In a dream sequence during the credits, Hunter visits a department store, tries on a pair of Jaguar boxers and meets four Victoria's Secret models who really like farting. We then see him talking to Amy's psychologist, inquiring what she thinks the dream means.

    Delightful !!!!
    First I'll be very honest: I am a huge fan of Claire Forlani since "Meet Joe Black". So I went after reading great and awful things about it. Well I would say it's nice to see a good, light, nice, cute film where the "f" word is not in each and every scene(Hope you'll read this, Mr Singleton with all due respect), where there aren't 2500 gun shots per second and where real human feelings are actually present all along. I think anyone who's been in such a relationship can totally relate to this film. Some people will reproach Jason Biggs role that feels too close from "American pie" and yes that's the movie main flaw but no movie is perfect and this one has not been produced for next year's academy award race. Also what really did surprise me was the great chemistry between Forlani and Prinze Jr. that you can definitely feel. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but the ending(even though predictable)is original and very very funny. It's nice to see a film where you sit, relax, enjoy yourself without having to expect the "impossible" and just experience it for what it is: Fresh and Heart warming. Wasn't that what "When Harry and Sally" was all about ?.
