    • Trivia
      Michael Keaton turned down Splash (1984) to do this movie.
    • Goofs
      There would be no reason for the parents' traffic route at school to be reversed when dropping off or picking up their kids. Entering on the right would always be the best option so that passengers could leave or board directly at the curb.
    • Quotes

      Jack Butler: [Enters scene revving chainsaw] How ya doin'. You must be Ron Richardson. I'm Jack Butler, nice to meetcha.

      Ron Richardson: Pleased to meet you.

      Jack Butler: Huh?

      Ron Richardson: I say I'm pleased...

      [Jack Turns chainsaw off]

      Ron Richardson: ...to meet you. I'm just waiting for Caroline.

      Jack Butler: Well, uh, you know women.

      Ron Richardson: Yeah, I'd like to think I do.

      Jack Butler: Wanna beer?

      Ron Richardson: It's 7 o'clock in the morning.

      Jack Butler: Scotch?

      Ron Richardson: Not during working hours. Ooooh, sorry pal.

      Jack Butler: No problem. Come on over here Ron. Let me show you what I'm doing, taking advantage of some of the time off. To, uh, add a whole new wing on here. Gonna rip these walls out and, uh, of course re-wire it.

      Ron Richardson: Yeah, you gonna make it all 220?

      Jack Butler: Yeah, 220, 221. Whatever it takes.

    • Crazy credits
      As Quebec had a different French version made in Montreal, the introducing credits has the scenes dubbed in Parisian French (made in France) version. Once the credits ends, the Quebec French dubbing version begins...
    • Alternate versions
      In one scene, Jack's "girlfriends" take him to a male strip show in which the dancers are dressed as astronauts. Jack comments "These aren't the guys from the space shuttle, are they?" When the film was first shown on network television in 1986, the line was removed, presumably because it seemed in poor taste coming so soon after the Challenger disaster.

    8 on a scale of 10
    This is a funny movie. And, not very many comedies can say that - most unfortunately. Michael Keaton was great. I'm not a big Teri Garr fan, but she was more than adequate as a second banana in the film.

    If you have no children, are a man, and have never had to raise any children even for a weekend, then you will certainly appreciate this movie. Everyone should appreciate it, but those of us who have never had the "pleasure" of changing a diaper will probably identify the most.

    I cannot imagine how this movie only got a 6.1 on IMBD. I have never known anyone who did not enjoy it.
