Trivia
Apart from a few establishing shots after the animated titles, the whole movie was filmed in France, including all of the English scenes of the first act.

Goofs
When they all enter the sea wearing diving kit, the back packs are very slim, yet the bags seem to hold a substantial amount of clothing.

Quotes
Kate: I think that liking them is much more important than loving them, actually. Love is easy to fall into. Liking is much harder. Think of your wedding as a driving test. You take it, you pass, and then you really start to learn how to drive. Or you crash.

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove strong language (in this case 'motherf***er') in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.

A fun and light, entertaining story

Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson star in this comedy crime caper. While not nearly as polished as the classic The Pink Panther (1963), there is a small resemblance in suave and characteristically capable comparison between Brosnan and Robert Wagner in the Pink Panther. Only slightly derivative, this deliberately clumsy caper is a fun and light, entertaining story about how a divorced must negotiate on a plan to recapture stolen pension funds from a French investment schemer as well as their tangled relationship together.
