Memorable Movie Quotes

Larry: A good fight is never clean.

Larry: Dan, I lied to you. I did fuck Alice. Sorry for telling you. I'm just not big enough to forgive you, Buster.

Alice: It's a lie. It's a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and... all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it's beautiful 'cause that's what they wanna see. But the people in the photos are sad, and alone... But the pictures make the world seem beautiful, so... the exhibition is reassuring which makes it a lie, and everyone loves a big fat lie.

Trivia

Cate Blanchett was originally signed to play the role of Anna, but due to her second pregnancy she had to drop out of the film.

At the beginning of filming, Natalie Portman gave 'Julia Roberts' a necklace that said "cunt" in honor of their characters' foul mouths. At the end of filming, Julia Roberts gave Natalie Portman a necklace that said "lil' cunt".

The opera that Dan and Anna are late for and you can hear in the background is "Cosi Fan Tutte" - this also deals with themes of two couples who swap partners.

Anna's exhibition is the only time all four characters are in the same room.

Alice's real name is revealed at the end on her passport as Jane Rachel Jones. Thus when Larry continually asks her for her real name, at the strip club, and she keeps telling him "Jane", she is telling the truth.

Goofs

Continuity: When Larry is talking with Dan at his office his tie changes between shots.

When Dan confronts Larry in his office, the majority of the scene shows the patient's chair in the back of the office covered with sanitary paper. At the end of the scene, however, Larry is shown putting the paper on the uncovered chair.
