    • Trivia
      The lines spoken by Walter Matthau as Einstein, "I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right," "Time is an illusion," and "God does not play dice," are all actual Albert Einstein quotations.
    • Goofs
      Ed checks the wrong answers for several questions in the I.Q. test.
    • Quotes

      Albert Einstein: Are you thinking what I am thinking?

      Ed Walters: Well what would be the odds of that happening?

    • Crazy credits
      Several characters' names are given incorrectly in the credits; Stephen Fry's character is spelled "James Morland" without the E, Lou Jacobi's character Kurt Gödel is spelled with no umlaut over the O, and Tony Shalhoub's character is titled "Bob Watters," not Bob Rosetti as given throughout the film.

    One stellar performance

    The love story here is cute and Tim Robbins has some nice moments, but the reason to watch the movie is Walter Matthau as Albert Einstien. (Meg Ryan has a typical Meg-Ryan-nice-girl performance. What that means, exactly, is up to the reader to decide.) Matthau makes the physicist humble, scheming, fun, and generally endearing. Plus, he and his peers have most of the great lines (e.g. "Don't let your brain interfere with your heart".)
