    • Trivia
      The front desk worker in the hotel is played by Andrew Wilson, Owen Wilson's older brother.
    • Goofs
      When they all leave Terry Bradshaw Motors, Terry introduces his blue Corvette as a 1975, which it was not. The body style used in the movie was produced only from 1980 through 1982, much later than he had stated. Rear glass panel, grille, tail and molded spoilers are key. Wheel design was first introduced in 1978.

    A nice saturday night flick with the Mrs

    Too many serious critics so it seems.

    After a long week at work if you want a feel good film watch this with a bottle of wine. kind of old school but with a lot of heart. Decent cast. Some good chemistry. And some twists along the way. Very heart warming...Not an oscar winner but a weekend feel good film!
