Short description

Julianne Potter is a food critic who discovers she is in love with her close friend, Michael O'Neal, only after learning he intends to marry Kimberly Wallace. The two had a long friendship and once made a pact to marry each other if they remained single by age twenty-eight. Upon realizing her true feelings, Julianne attempts to sabotage the upcoming nuptials to win Michael back for herself.

Directed by P.J. Hogan, this film followed his 1994 project Muriel's Wedding. The movie stars Julia Roberts as Julianne, Dermot Mulroney as Michael, and Cameron Diaz as Kimmy, with Rupert Everett also appearing in a main role. The production was a collaboration between TriStar Pictures, Zucker Brothers Productions, and Predawn Productions, with a screenplay written by Ronald Bass.

The film was a commercial success, earning 299 million USD worldwide against a budget of 38 million USD. It has received generally positive feedback from viewers and critics. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 6.4/10 based on 166,000 votes, while on TMDB it is rated 6.6/10 from 2,964 votes. Film critics provided a slightly higher average rating of 7/10 from 63 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • In the film, Rupert Everett’s character is named George, but in the original script he was called Digger.
  • The candidacies of Dermot Mulroney and Cameron Diaz for roles in the film were personally selected by Julia Roberts.
  • Originally, the film was planned to end with a reunion of Julianna and Michael, but after a series of unsuccessful takes, the director decided to change the ending.
  • The line 'You sniff the wind like a spotted deer...' is a quote from Julian Mitchell's play 'Another Country,' a role that brought Everett fame in the West End in 1981.
