Trivia:
Susan Sarandon was pregnant during production and it was agreed upon by all parties that the best way to work around it was to incorporate loose-fitting clothes into her character's wardrobe which worked out fine since she was playing a former investigative journalist turned suburban stay-at-home mom. moreQuotes:

A good script (with adult themes) and an excellent cast make this a most enjoyable caper-comedy about the secret life of an upscale dentist. What this one does with vegetables gives one pause about eating salads anywhere but home, as Judith Ivy (particularly good as an oversexed suburban housewife) dryly points out in one of the funniest lines in the film. The movie is fast-paced with very good direction and production values. Maybe not quite a "10," but close to it.
