Trivia

Despite the negative critical reception of the film, Nicole Kidman said that she enjoyed being part of the project. Mainly because, although she is Australian, she got to work in her birthplace of Hawaii, which she left when she was 4 and because her parents from Australia were able to spend time with her and her children, while she was working.

Goofs

At around 58 mins Danny tells Maggie "And I love you, my little British crumpet!" In England the word crumpet in the context provided would mean hot or sexy woman--inappropriate from father to "daughter," whatever her age, but especially when she's grade-school age.

User Reviews

One of the better ones

Sandler is very hit and miss with his films, this however is one of the hits.

The wife and I were laughing constantly and even use some of the jokes between each other today. Highly recommended as the film is full of gags and quips that'll keep you laughing for 90 minutes.
