Trivia:
When Arlo's Saab is brought back there is a car door from a police car attached to the bumper with the words "GO POLICE" visible. The font and color are the same as the Chicago Police dept. used at the time of filming. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: As the Pears are moving, one of the movers mentions that it is Mardi Gras time. Mardi Gras takes place in the winter. However, both New Jersey and Idaho appear to be experiencing a curiously warm winter since all of the people are wearing summer-type clothing and all of the lawns are green. more
Quotes:
Loan broker:
So, you found your dream house. And right now you're asking First Boise Savings & Loan to give you a mortgage.
Arlo Pear:
As you can see, I've had the same job for 15 years.
Loan broker:
Well, that's very nice, but it's not enough. I mean, Al Capone had the same job for 30 years.
Monica Pear:
But we've never had any problem with credit.
Loan broker:
Oh, don't get me wrong. I trust you. We trust all our customers. Why, this bank was *built* on trust. Here. Sign here.
Loan broker:
Uh, you gotta get closer. This pen is chained down, you know.

Man do I feel sorry for Arlo. That poor man. If that were me I would be kicking myself. This movie was funny and amusing though. Hes got movers who won't deliver his stuff, a crazy guy driving his Saab, he got scammed on his house and hes getting blamed for all of this stuff at his new job when all he did was sharpen his pencil. Some great actors and actresses in this movie like Richard Pryor, Randy Quaid, Stacey Dash, Dave Thomas and Dana Carvey (The younger, funnier Dana Carvey before Mike Myers ruined his reputation). This is the only movie I have ever seen with Richard Pryor without Gene Wilder. I thought they were only funny when they were together, but Pryor did a great job in this movie. I should go see a just Gene Wilder movie and see if its the same for him too.
