[edit] small details

regarding the murder of Charles' work friend, surely the car belonged to him, not Charles - otherwise the police would've had Charles down as the main suspect? pomegranate 19:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Lucinda Harris"

Jennifer Aniston's character pretends to be Lucinda Harris, but it's shown that this is a con. The Avery-Price receptionist says that she is actually Lucinda's temp, "Jane", but this name is likely a fake. I haven't watched the movie in a bit, but I don't believe that the character's true name is ever revealed. SuperMachine 18:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

That's correct, and the main article could probably be improved by making more of the central plot: the boy-meets-girl theme is really a boy-meets-girl-who-is-impersonating-another-girl theme. The plot description in the article suggests that there was a mutual attraction, and so on, when in fact the whole affair was staged. The scene in which the lead character finds "Lucinda Harris'" name on the company website is meant to hint that he too was suspicious (though, as a plot detail, it's the viewers who should be suspicious, as there is, conveniently, no photo of Harris on the site).
