A quote from Nick, "I don't know karate, but I know ka-razay!" when he's confronting Chuck, are actually lyrics from James Brown's 1974 single "The Payback" from the album of the same name. See more »

When the family first arrives at the new house, there is a car in the driveway. As they move to the steps and side of the house, the car is gone. See more »
There's no plot or entertainment in this at all. The entire movie is just poorly thought out slapstick humor, which all follows the exact same chain of events. Every 'joke' goes something like: a character tries something new, the character is hurt in the process, other characters find it funny. I don't see how they could possibly make another movie with the same basis for a story line. I have to say that I actually felt sorry for whoever wasted their time trying to produce this.
You could actually predict what was going to happen at almost anytime in the movie. When the father is trying to fix the electrical connections, he messes up and shocks himself. When he leans against the wall and Chuck is telling him how sturdy the house is, he falls through it. There's nothing to this movie other than abysmally bad slapstick 'comedy'.
