- California Doubling: Though set in Sitka, Alaska, the filming actually took place in Massachusetts.
- Fake Nationality: In a very ironic way —
- Ryan Reynolds is a Canadian actor portraying an American character.
- Sandra Bullock is an American actress portraying a Canadian character.
- What Could Have Been:
- Julia Roberts was the first choice to play Margaret, but refused to take a pay cut.
- In the original screenplay, Mr. Gilbertson is a much more despicable character, wanting revenge on Margaret for rejecting his book in the past in a humiliating manner. He also bribes Margaret, promising not to deport her if she publishes his book.
- A sequel was in the works, but was scrapped when Disney executives downsized Touchstone Pictures.
