The iTunes Extra’s for this movie has some great commentaries (including one by Rob Reiner) and documentaries.
Sally’s particular way of ordering is the way Nora Ephron does (pointed out to her by Rob Reiner).
The scene where Billy Crystal is add-libbing with the funny voices and Meg Ryan looks off to the side, she’s actually looking at Rob Reiner for direction on what to do (obviously Reiner gave her a signal to just roll with it).
As has been mentioned the couples are actors, but the stories are real.
Another Billy Crystal romantic comedy is “Forget Paris.” It’s one of my favorites and I recommend you searching it out.

Yes, that was Tracy Reiner! She was Penny Marshall's daughter from her first marriage. Rob Reiner adopted Tracy, and she took his name. Even though Penny and Rob divorced after 10 years of marriage, Rob continued to be a great father to Tracy! He cared for her like she was his. I can't even imagine how awful this whole situation has been for Tracy, Romy, and Jake! Praying for the three of them, and all of the other family... except Nick, of course!

Sorry I was in and out (mostly out) of this. I was having technical issues for most of it.

The stories are apparently real but they used actors.

All of the couples' stories are real! Some of the stories were told by the actual couple, and some were told by actors. All of the stories are true, though! So sweet!

Coby, since you love this you've gotta watch Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine in The Apartment (1960).

His Dad made a movie that’s well worth watching. Oh God! from 1978.

I’m assuming we should be making no Seth Rogan/Knocked Up references here?

Probably won't be able to make this one. I eat dinner with my Mom on Sundays usually anywhere from 4 to 5 CST (5 to 6 EST). I know, I'm a sentimental sucker, lol. I'll catch it on a replay later though! Take care all!

Yes...wow.
I always love a surprise like this.. amazing movie but as funny as it is, it also makes me feel sad as it's a reminder of what a huge loss to the world it is that Rob Reiner is no longer with us...see you there Coby x
