As of 2018, Hugh Grant starred in all the four features directed by Marc Lawrence. This one is the third. Grant plays a romantically-involved character in all of the films and is paired with a different actress or actresses each time.
This movie was sent to theaters code-titled "High Stakes".
Meryl's (Sarah Jessica Parker) wedding vows to Paul (Hugh Grant) ("Let me not to the marriage of true minds...") are taken from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, published in 1609.
Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 which Meryl quots in the film was the same one the character Marianne had asked the character Edward to read with more passion in the film Sense and Sensibility (1995) - the character Edward was played by Hugh Grant.
