Trivia
During filming, animal rights activists showed up with the intention to make sure all the fish were treated correctly. After viewing the script, and realizing that the title of the film was really more about cheating 'fish' than actually shooting it, they left somewhat embarrassed. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When Georgie stands up at the roof-top pond, she casts a shadow on the background sunrise. See more »Quotes
Dylan: We're about to become the proud possessors of 2 million quid in useless notes because the queen doesn't like her picture. Jesus Christ, it's self, self, self for some people!See more »
