    • Trivia
      The flat panel TV brand is "Binford", the same name as the tools in Home Improvement (1991).
    • Goofs
      Since Tommy was already convicted, sentenced to and served 36-months in a Federal prison, he would be released free and clear, and would not need to report to a Parole Agent or Probation Officer. Parole is an early release program and probation is a diversionary program.

      Judge Pierce: How's is goin' guys?

      Tommy: Hey, good.

      Rick: Beautiful house, sir.

      Edgar: Oh yeah, beautiful house. If I gotta take a dump, I'm taking it home with me.

    Move on people, nothing new here
    On paper, this movie seem to have be half decent. But nothing clicked for me. I think it suffered due to lack of laughs. There were a few smiles here and there, but things were just too predictable. We know how it was going to end.

    And the part about the young boy trying to play matchmaker to his mother and an ex-con was idiotic. Also the part about mother accepting it was more idiotic. The kind of faith that she puts in him was just too naive, especially considering that she is a parole officer.

    Sigourney Weaver's role was also very contrived. They could have taken the whole thing out of the movie without taking anything from the whole plot. The whole movie is mess really. There is no narrative coherence. Parts have been stacked on just to get some laughs. Alas, If only there were laughs. This is an old wine in an old bottle.
