Trivia
Gene Siskel said he hated this movie so much that it almost made him quit his job. He continued that seeing Say Anything (1989) later that day encouraged him not to quit. When Ami Dolenz heard that, she said, "I think movie critics are kind of crap, anyway. I'm sorry, but what a horrible job to have, to criticize other people's work, so that's why I never read them. I really don't care either way. I never really got it. I know that people have their own opinions and views and everything, but I never got into reading any kind of critics."

Goofs
The car Doug drives from the prom to the radio station changes three times over six minutes.

Quotes
Bonnie Simpson: [about Timothy] So, dad. What do you think? Perfect, right?
Doug Simpson: [almost laughing] Yeah, wow. Yale, perfect. At last, perfect. Home by 11, perfect. I, uh... wait a minute. Chapter 52. He's too perfect!

Crazy credits
Frank Pesce is listed in the end credits as "Tony Danza's Pal".

very enjoyable

I saw this movie on tape around the time it came out and i still remember it as a very pleasant surprise little movie.Danza is pretty good in it,the situations are predictable but lots of fun.A big step above the rest is Wallace Shawn as Dr.Fishbinder,one of the funniest characters i have ever seen.The guy is unbelievable in this movie i could have watched a whole series with him.See for yourself.
