Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe extra scene at the end with Ewan McGregor and Renée Zellweger singing a duet was filmed at the insistence of Zellweger and McGregor. They said that with both of them having been in musicals previously (McGregor in Moulin Rouge! (2001) and Zellweger in Chicago (2002)) that it would be a sin not to.
- GoofsWhen Barbara confesses to Catcher in his apartment, they are both standing, but when Gwendolyn enters his apartment and races to Barbara after she over-hears Catcher say "Barbara Novak", Catcher is sitting on the edge of the bed.
- Quotes
Catcher Block: [as Zip Martin] Can you keep a secret?
Barbara Novak: Yes.
Catcher Block: [as Zip Martin] Me too.
- Crazy creditsThe movie opens with the big CinemaScope logo 20th Century Fox used fifty years before.
- Alternate versionsThe TV version distributed in the UK excludes most of the split-screen phone call, presumably for time and due to the potential interpretation of the cinematography.

Featured review
DWL didn't do to well at the box office. I guess it must have been due to a poor advertizing campaign. After finally seeing it, I though it was pretty good. It's sort of like a battle of the sexes. Barbara Novak pretends to be a man hating woman who doesn't need love while Catcher Block is a womanizer out to prove he can get the DWL girl(Novak) to fall in love. So along the way, we get funny situations, like Catch pretending to be Zip and many over heard conversations that seem to be about something else, ie... the secretary overhearing the sock discussion. And an unusually scene using split screens with Barbara and Catch talking on the phone. She's below and he's on top doing pushups. At the end they smoke. Cute idea.
The 2 supporting characters, Vikki and Peter, were good. Plus we get a surprise twist toward the end involving Barbara, which I never saw coming.
FINAL VERDICT: Cute and funny. It's different than your average romantic comedy. So if you like romantic comedies, I recommend this one.
