    • Trivia
      Tom Selleck was nominated for Worst Actor at the Golden Raspberry Awards in 1993 for this film but lost out on the Razzie to Sylvester Stallone for Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992).
    • Goofs
      Jon calls Ed a "backstabbing pig" when he finds out that the FBI has closed down the place where he works. However, it looks like "pig" replaced "prick" in post production to gain a PG-13 rating.
    • Quotes

      Harry: McDonnells!

      [Sounds like McDonald's]

      Jon: Hungry, Pop?

    ONE OF TOM SELLECK'S FUNNIEST MOVIES !!!
    This is a satirical look at a behind-the-scenes view of Tom Selleck playing a had-it-all stockbroker who loses it all. It has a black satire view of Alzheimer's but political correctness aside - it is one of the funniest movies of Selleck's that I have seen!!! I loved Don Ameche and Anne Jackson who were perfect as his parents and they deliver some of the best one-liners I can remember. If you liked the quirkiness of "HAROLD & MAUDE" or "the HOSPITAL" with George C. Scott or "WHERE'S PAPA?" with George Segal - this movie is just for you!!! I just wish it would be released on DVD as my VHS copy is getting a lot of play from being loaned to others who have never seen it.
