Suggested correction: Or it's a manual 3 speed on the column in 2nd gear while driving slowly through town.
Melanie Carmichael: You're the first boy I ever kissed, Jake, and I want you to be the last.
Trivia: Erin Vanderbilt, the woman that Andrew is shown marrying at the end originally had a bigger part, but test audiences misunderstood her relationship with Andrew before breaking up with Melanie, so all of Erin's scenes were cut except for that small bit over the credits.
Question: The clips shown in the credits of the movie; is the child featured in their now happy lives Witherspoon's real daughter Ava?
