Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJennifer Lopez insisted that the part of Catch be played by Jim Caviezel even though she didn't even know his name. She had recently been impressed with his performance in The Thin Red Line (1998).
- GoofsThe night before Catch and Sharon's breakfast date, we see that Sharon has a digital clock radio on her bedside table. The next morning Sharon is awakened by an old fashioned alarm clock. Later in the movie, a bedroom scene shows the digital clock radio back again and the old fashioned alarm clock gone.
- Quotes
Catch: [Catch is at the cemetery looking at the headstones of his wife and son] Annie. Max. I don't want you to think I forgot you, it's just that I couldn't find you. I woke up and you were gone, everything was gone, it just disappeared in one minute. I couldn't remember that minute, I lost it, but I think I found it all now. I used a calculator, see. Do you know we get about 1500 minutes a day?, so I figured it out. I was 29 years old, three months and eight days, so it was minute number 14,500,980 or so. That's the one I lost and when I lost that minute, I guess I... I tried to lose it all, all the memories because it hurt so bad. I tried, but... but I couldn't do it. Max, you were sick that day, remember?, it was your birthday and you ate too much. Annie, you said ''Slow down, it's wet, okay?'' And you were right, I should have slowed down. I should have slowed down lots of times, but I didn't always listen. I didn't listen when you, when you said, ''Steve, just please spend more time.'' That day I made you smile, Max, remember? You looked at me and I made a face and then we all smiled. It was a great minute. It was. I'm so glad l found that minute and no matter what... no matter what, I won't forget anymore. I won't forget anymore, I love you.

- Alternate versionsAll UK versions were cut to obtain a 15-rating. Warner Brothers had to remove the aggressive use of the word "cunt", or the film would have been rated 18.

There are flaws in the film. The film jumps to situations without a build up--Catch appears on a life saving situation, seemingly out of nowhere; two beers appear on Catch's table in the restaurant, without him ordering the second; no mention is made of why Catch chose this name; etc.
Yet despite those faults the film sails through as fine entertainment because of fine believable performances from Caviezel, Lopez, Sonia Braga, and Shirley Knight. The casting of these four was perfect (thank you Lopez for insisting on Caviezel!). The film is great entertainment because the film refrains from sex and promotes fine values--including family values, reconciliation, dealing with bereavement and doing good to make a better world. How many films are brave enough to deal with such subjects today without depicting sex and violence?
The film touches on subplots that could have been fleshed out--Catch's lonely neighbor who invites him share a pizza, Catch's friend who recognizes him at the restaurant but Director Mandoki clearly steers clear to present the two psychologically wounded persons and their healing by coming together through a sheer accident. The film may be very Christian in character but it presents a very secular, humane scenario that will uplift any viewer. Though unevenly woven, the film has several sequences that show Mandoki has fine capabilities. One only wishes he took greater care of details.
Flaws apart, the film is above average cinema that the publicity has shrouded by misplaced evaluations.
