Trivia
When Kristina and Michelle Kennedy were in college, they found out that Diane Keaton was doing a book signing in Southampton, New York. They showed up and when Keaton was doing signings, they placed the photo for Keaton to sign. Keaton remarked on the photo that she'd been thinking about the twins the other day. When she went to sign, she looked at the sisters, back to the photo and realized it was them. Keaton subsequently got up and hugged them both. The sisters later went onto become teachers.

Goofs
In the beginning of the film, the narrator states that J.C. has a corner office. When the office appears a few minutes later, it's in the middle, with a window.

Quotes
Delivery Boy: [confirming J.C.'s delivery order] One cold mist humidifier, one electric steam vaporizer, one baby thermometer, one baby Tylenol, baby nose drops, baby cough medicine and... bottle of Valium?
J.C. Wiatt: Oh, yeah, uh... that's for me.
Delivery Boy: [nods] Mm.

One to add to your collection...

One of my favorite movies of all time. Cute, cozy movie. Even the husband enjoys watching it. Just the right mixture of cuteness & comedy. I personally think it was one of Diane Keaton's best roles. I wonder what happened to the twins who played Elizabeth though. I'm sure they're all grown up now. Interesting to see what they've turned out to be. However, there are no other credits listed for them. Although I've seen the movie plenty of times, I never knew there was a television show spun off of it. And Joy Behar played Helga??? I'll have to see if there are any copies of the show floating around out there. Great movie, definitely one to add to your collection.
