Goofs

The Dave Foley character makes a reference to the "Calistoga Wagons" that traveled the Oregon Trail. The word is "Conestoga Wagon" - and, Conestoga Wagons were NOT used on the Oregon Trail -- Conestoga Wagons were too large and heavy for use on the Oregon Trail.

Califonia Screaming

Oh, my Gosh! This has to be the most horrible film I've ever seen in my entire life, and I'm Lea's age! I cannot believe the awful acting. I don't care how dysfunctional the family is supposed to be. The entire movie made me sick. My 13 year-old girl could have written something better than this junk. Such absurdly ridiculous lines and predictable responses from the characters gave me a knot in my stomach and a severe headache. I cannot believe Lea Thompson could make such good movies in her past such as "Back To the Future," and then turn around and play an overbearing, neurotic, judgmental blabber-mouth of a mother. What is happening to her ability to recognize BAD material? If you watch this film and don't get sick, my hat's off to you! I really wanted to cry it was so BAD.
