Stupidity: When Laura visits her mother in disguise, she tells her about meeting a nicer man after leaving Martin. It's one thing to tell her mother that he teaches Drama, but it beggars belief when she tells her the precise location of where he teaches! You would think that being her first time seeing her mother in a long time while disguised as a man, she would keep this information to herself until she was comfortable. Of course, Martin immediately manages to extract this information from Chloe.

Directed by: Joseph Ruben
Starring: Julia Roberts, Patrick Bergin, Kevin Anderson, Elizabeth Lawrence
Continuity mistake: When Sarah/Laura first sees Ben singing and watering the lawn, the view from the inside of her bedroom shows that the room/wall extends quite a ways to her right. But from Ben's viewpoint outside, Sarah/Laura appears in a corner window, with no possible extension of the room/wall to her right anymore.
Martin: I can't live without you. And I won't let you live without me.
Trivia: The beach house is supposedly in Cape Cod, but was actually filmed in Wrightsville Beach, NC on Figure Eight island.
Question: Was the doctor (the owner of the sailboat in the beginning) in on Laura's planned disappearance? Or was the bad weather just a coincidence and gave her the chance to escape? Just though it was weird because her husband commented that she only gets on a boat like once a year, so I don't know how she could have planned her escape so perfectly.

Chosen answer: No, the doctor was not in on her plan. She had her escape planned for a long time, but was waiting for the right time. The stormy weather on the boat provided the "perfect" time for her to put her plan into action.
