In the International cut, the film ends with faux-documentary footage of everyone being interviewed a few months later, intercut with the credits.
The US version omits that footage entirely, and ends, instead, with faux-home movie footage of Bridget and Mark in the wading pool in the yard, the memory they talk about much earlier in the film.
The US and UK cuts also have different songs over the end credits, as with Notting Hill and Love Actually.

Also, a few of the voice-overs by Renee Zellweger are different in the Miramax version. They had her re-record them to remove British words that would be unfamiliar to American audiences. Some examples:
- In the party scene in the beginning:
Original: "My mum, a strange creature from the time when a gherkin was still the height of sophistication."
Miramax: "My mum, a strange creature from the time when pickles on toothpicks were still the height of sophistication."
- Right after the party scene in the beginning:
Original: "and be found three weeks later half-eaten by Alsatians."
Miramax: "and be found three weeks later half-eaten by wild dogs."
