    It's a fun quirky and entertaining movie.

    I certainly don't have the credentials to analyze screenplays or actors performances. I'm just a ordinary guy who enjoyed this movie immensely. I will say this about anyone who doesn't enjoy this movie... I don't think I'd like having a beer them. Watch the movie, it's pretty darn good in my book. :)

    • Trivia
      Frances Fisher plays Jonathan Taylor Thomas' character's mother in this film. In 1991, she was cast as his character's mother in Home Improvement (1991), but was replaced due to poor early audience reaction to her.
    • Goofs
      Marshall uses his brothers' toothbrushes (the green and yellow ones) to clean the toilet, then places them back in the holders with their names on them. Marty's is yellow, Mark's is green and Marshall's is blue. Later that night, Marty is using the blue toothbrush, Mark is using the dirty green, and Marshall is using the dirty yellow one.
