    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Daniel Radcliffe said in an interview that his role as Wallace is the first contemporary character he's ever played, having previously starred in mostly fantasy and historical projects. He said, "There was something lovely about just stepping up on set and talking."
    • Goofs
      When Ben is in the ambulance his neck-brace isn't placed correctly. It should be under his chin.
    • Quotes

      Wallace: In fairy tales, love inspires you to be noble and courageous, but in real life, love is just an all-purpose excuse for selfish behavior. You can lie and cheat and hurt people, and it's all okay because you're in love.

    • Crazy credits
      The beginning of the closing credits are done with Chantry's animations telling some of the story of the movie as well as some of the back story.
    • Alternate versions
      Original/TIFF cut is appx 101 minutes, US cut is appx 98 minutes, and TIFF cut (PAL DVD) is appx 97 minutes (obviously due to PAL speedup differences). Comparing Australian PAL DVD (original/TIFF cut) to US Bluray (US cut), changes begin from AU version at appx 65:00, equivalent to US version at appx 65:13 :
      • "Lawn Bowls" reordered scene: AU @ 65:00-66:26 --> US @ 67:48
      • "Tearing list" scene: AU @ 66:54-67:00 --> deleted from US
      • "Chantry wandering around Dublin" scene: AU @ 67:04-67:15 --> deleted from US
      • "We're Just Friends" scene: AU @ 67:28-68:13 --> deleted from US (found as an extra on the retail disc)
      • "3 points" scene: US @ 69:33-69:38 --> deleted from AU
      • "Where is Chantry" reordered scene: AU @ 68:13-69:45 --> US @ 69:38-71:08
      • "Wallace going to Dublin" scene: AU @ 69:45-69:56 --> deleted from US
      • "Wallace landing in Dublin" reordered scene: AU @ 72:10-72:13 --> US @ 71:08-71:10
      • "Wallace waking up in Dublin on plane" scene: AU @ 72:13-72:24 --> deleted from US
      • "Wallace found unconscious" scene: AU @ 73:06-73:32 --> deleted from US
      • "Chantry's voicemail message to Wallace" alternate/reordered scene (shorter on US): US @ 72:00-72:10 --> uses AU @ 7427-7440 footage
      • "Chantry's voicemail message to Wallace" alternate & Wallace's voicemail message to Chantry" scenes: AU @ 73:32-74:08--> deleted from US
      • "Wallace leaving Ben's" same scene: AU @ 74:08-74:18 --> US @ 72:10-72:18
      • "Wallace departing Dublin" scenes: AU @ 74:15-74:27 and 74:40-75:00 --> deleted from US
      • "Landing at Toronto" same scene: AU @ 75:00-75:04 --> US @ 72:18-72:22
      • "Rushing to restaurant" scene: AU @ 75:04-75:15 --> deleted from US
      • "Outside restaurant" scene: AU @ 75:15 extended by appx 1 second
      • "New US ending" scene: US @ 87:05-90:40 --> not on AU (found as an extra on the retail disc). Scene is out of narrative order when compared to animated end credits, and should have been placed after animated credits.
      • Animated end credits are also somewhat different, and run at different speeds (outside PAL speedup): AU @ 90:00-94:37 --> US @ 90:40-93:19

    I loved this movie
    What a great movie to see as an escape from the mindless explosions in so many "Hollywood" movies. The characters were great. It was very funny! And it was touching. It would probably be in the "chick flick" category, but that's an unfortunate way to pigeonhole this movie. Spoiler alert!!! (I just want to be on the safe side.) I would classify this movie as an updated version of When Harry Met Sally. Daniel Radcliffe is excellent, as is the rest of the cast. We went to a sneak preview a few days ago and I was kind of shocked to read that it was made last year(2013) and "might have a Valentine 2014 release". What the heck happened? I am glad it has a release date for next month(8-2014) I am going to spread the word via Facebook and texts. Great movie.
