- TriviaFilmed on-location in London. In order to avoid crowds interrupting filming, many scenes started filming around 2 a.m.
- GoofsIn 1999, young Kate is shown singing in Yugoslavia, which civil war had been reduced by that time to consist of Serbia and Montenegro. Kate says her family was from Croatia and had to escape from the civil war in Yugoslavia. However, fighting in Croatian territory and in adjacent Bosnia-Herzegovina ended in 1995. The only war fought in 1999 was at Kosovo, a territory within Serbia.
- Crazy creditsAfter the traditional credits, the vintage Universal Studios logo with "The Entertainment Center of the World" and image, "When in Hollywood, visit Universal Studios" with a tourist trolley on a movie set. Also seen at the end of Galactica 1980 (1980), The Last Starfighter (1984), and National Lampoon's Animal House (1978). The latter added "When in Hollywood ask for Babs", a character in the movie.
Featured review
A fairy tale romantic comedy which seems nice and touching
I must admit, I was pleasently suprised after seeing the film. Had read some really negative reviews about this one.
Emilla Clarke and Henry Golding wins my heart in this one.
The story is simple yet very unusual. Kate(Emilla Clarke) is young woman who is known for her bad decision. She meets a mysterious man Tom(Henry Golding) who brings out the best in her.
But the movie takes a turn. Tom is not what Kate thinks he is.
What I liked about the movie is the simplicity and some of the tiny details I saw i this movie. The script is funny and touching at the same time. Cinematography is excellent. You will fall in love with London and the night cinematography is absoultely beautiful. Music compeltely gels with the visuals and story.
The story and its execution would make you emotional, some people like me would even have tears in the eyes.
Its's a really really well made movie and surely very underrated.
