Trivia:
Fred Wolf and David Spade originally wrote a skit in the '90s for "Saturday Night Live" (1975) about a child star rampage, spoofing _Silence of the Lambs (1989)_, for when Macaulay Culkin was hosting, but it was cut. The idea was later pitched for The WB, but they turned it down. It was eventually totally rewritten and turned into this movie, originally written as a dark comedy with more references to drug use by child stars. moreGoofs:
Continuity: At the end of Heather Bolan's audition, her hands are in her hair. She is shown from behind, and she puts her arms down. When she is shown from the front, she puts her arms down again. moreQuotes:
Grace Finney: [Grace is pushing Dickie down the sidewalk in a stroller]Grace Finney: This feels a little odd.
Dickie Roberts: Dude, I'm the one in the stroller.
Grace Finney: Did you just call me, dude?
Dickie Roberts: I mean mommy.

I saw this movie last night and really enjoyed it! I laughed out loud many times and the story was really sweet. David Spade is hilarious in this movie and really made it work. Go see it! Oh, and the final song with former child stars will leave you laughing long after you leave the theater!
