    • Trivia
      Steve Martin was the first choice to play George Newton. John Candy, Danny DeVito, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Jeff Goldblum, Rick Moranis, and Robin Williams were later considered for the part.
    • Goofs
      When Ted and Rice are playing Super Mario Brothers 3, they are both mashing away on controllers; however, when it shows the close-up of the screen, we see that they're only playing a one-player game at the time.
    • Quotes

      Alice Newton: I don't think words for parts of the body make very good names.

      Emily Newton: He's got one of those, I looked.

      Alice Newton: I'm sure he does but I don't think Daddy would want to stand on the porch at night yelling that out.

      Emily Newton: But that's what you call Uncle Richard.

    • Crazy credits
      As the end credits finish, a short scene plays of Beethoven standing on a rock, silhouetted against a sunset. He barks as the credits end.

    10/10
    Brilliant Family Film
    I do not how the hell one of my all time childhood favourite films is rated 5 but I can tell you this film is one of the greatest family films of all time even watching it again all these years later.

    Great film about family love, awesomeness and man's best friend. I made an IMDb account just so I could make a review to defend this film as I was shocked to see it had such a low rating when in reality this film is an all time classic. Understanding the bond between man and animal really helps you tie into the emotional connection the family has with the dog.

    10/10 as a family film / comedy. Will be watching with my kids for sure and you should too.
