Short description
Dragged out on a blind date a year after his wife's tragic death, grieving architect Bob Rueland finds an unexpected spark not with his date, but with Grace, the sharp-witted waitress at a lively Irish-Italian restaurant. Unbeknownst to Bob, Grace is the recipient of his late wife's donated heart. As they grow closer, their romance offers the promise of healing and the weight of a secret that could tear them apart.
What's left behind the scenes
- The role of Joe Dayton was originally offered to Jon Favreau. He didn't want to play a supporting character and declined, after which James Belushi agreed to take on the role.
- George Clooney suggested the script for this film to David Duchovny. They happened to be on the same plane once, sitting opposite each other across the aisle. George Clooney said he wouldn't be able to play the role himself, but he liked the script.
- The mailbox in the zoo was a prop, but a member of the film crew had to be stationed next to it so that zoo visitors wouldn't put letters in it.
- O'Reilly's restaurant (a real establishment in Chicago called “Double Anchors”) is actually located on a corner. For the film, a mock-up of a building was constructed to its left. In the scene where Grace is on the balcony talking on the phone with a character played by Bonnie Hunt, you can notice how the sidewalk in front of the restaurant curves as if around a street corner. The orange brick building on the left is a prop, built on a neighboring street for filming.
- Bonnie Hunt's (the film's director) brother works as a therapist in a hospital, and he arranged filming on hospital grounds with the administration.
