Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAs he was only known to be a character actor from the Father of the Bride films, Jurassic Park, and Oz at the time the studio didn't want B.D. Wong to headline the film because while he was a familiar movie presence he had never been the lead in a movie. Wong was willing to accept the role because he was willing to work with the low budget to get his first starting role. The studio only agreed to cast him when Bronson Pinchot agreed to play Roy because Pinchot was a lead in the sitcom Perfect Strangers as well as being noted for Step by Step and appearing in Beverly Hills Cop. They felt his presence was strong enough as a lead to attract moviegoers and they then agreed to cast Wong as Morgan Brinway.

Featured review
Man. This movie has got it all. Cute kids. Fart jokes. A sea lion. What more do you need? I used to wonder if B.D. Wong had the chops to pull of a subtle comedy like this, and this movie proves he's got what it takes. Jennifer Coolidge shows she's more than just the dramatic actress so beloved in those Christopher Guest pseudo-documentaries and knocks this one out of the ballpark. That accent? Hilarious. Bronson Pinchot proves that he's more than just a one-trick pony with his portrayal of Roy. You can barely even detect his Meposian accent. Wow! And without going into too much detail, I'll just say that these kids worked great as a team. Move over, Li'l Rascals. There's a new group of youngsters in Cute City. Why these kids didn't get a series (Hello! "Slappy & the Stinkers: the Weekly Show") or at least a few MacDonald's ads is beyond me. Whatever. Sometimes I don't know what goes on in Hollywood to let talent like this slide. See this movie!
