Did You Know?
| Trivia | Gene Siskel said he hated this movie so much that it almost made him quit his job. He continued that seeing Say Anything (1989) later that day encouraged him not to quit. When Ami Dolenz heard that, she said, "I think movie critics are kind of crap, anyway. I'm sorry, but what a horrible job to have, to criticize other people's work, so that's why I never read them. I really don't care either way. I never really got it. I know that people have their own opinions and views and everything, but I never got into reading any kind of critics." See more » |
| Goofs | When Richard is in the kitchen talking to Doug, he speculates about what would happen if Katie met a duke or a prince in Europe. He asks "What about that Prince Charles guy?", and Doug responds, "Prince Charles is married." However, both men's lips form the word "Andrew" instead of "Charles." See more » |
