Trivia Bruce Joel Rubin originally met Nicole Kidman when she auditioned for Ghost (1990). She was turned down because Director Jerry Zucker wanted a bigger name. Being very impressed with her previous audition, Bruce decided to offer her the role of Gail. See more »
Goofs In the scene where Bob is videotaping the hotel room, he zooms in on Gail's stomach, which is very large and round, expecting a child. In the next scene at the wedding reception, it shows them dancing around, and her standing there clapping, and there is no pregnancy belly. See more »
