Trivia:

Gilda Radner's last movie. Her health became increasing fragile during post-production so her husband Gene Wilder put it aside to focus on her. It was released at the end of 1988 to give Radner one more premiere before her death.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: When Larry and Vicki are driving to the castle/mansion, a road sign is visible that shows the road curving (dog leg). The sign is on the wrong side of the street and does not match the curve of the road.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Francis Jr.: It's not what you think.
[collapses and camera pans right then stops]
Francis Jr.: Well, it's partly what you think but, uh, oh it's so complicated.

Isn't It Romantic

A bizarre late-night laugh

This is the sort of off-the-wall comedy that is perfect for the wee hours -- so long as you don't wake up the rest of the household, either screaming or laughing! DeLuise and Radner were especially good (as you might expect) -- it would be hard to beat their duet of "Balling the Jack." If you're looking for a logical plotline, you will have to go elsewhere. There are more twists and turns and unresolved moments than actual dialogue, I believe. However, if totally bizarre is what you're after, this is it! I found it thoroughly enjoyable.
