Quotes
Paula:
All I'm saying is, there's a reason why Sporty Spice is the only one without a fella!
Goofs
A crew member was in the back seat, rocking the car at the airport that Jess's sister and her fiance are in alone. At one point three heads pop up over the seat.
Crazy Credits
The closing credits feature cast and crew singing "Hot Hot Hot", with many of the lyrics in Punjabi. One group can be seen holding a "cheat sheet" index card, presumably with the lyrics on.
Alternate Versions
The word football was been replaced by soccer in many US prints.
