| Trivia | The movie that Jillian and Spencer watch together is Penny Serenade (1941), which also centers on a dramatic child rearing. See more » |
| Goofs | All NASA shuttle astronauts live and work in the vicinity of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, many of them in Clear Lake, a Houston suburb. Yet in the film, Jillian teaches school in Florida, where she and Armacost clearly live. Astronauts only go to Florida for launches. See more » |
