Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene at the party, where the characters of "Jack Gable" and "Rachel Hedison" are dancing, John Candy and Emma Samms did the scene without doubles, although it was difficult to tell because of the distance from which it was shot. Samms commented how graceful and talented a dancer Candy was, despite his size.
- GoofsThere seems to be a line missing in the dialogue between Jack Gable (John Candy) and Len (John Michael Bolger). Jack calls Len, but Len automatically knows who's talking and which car is his before Jack says anything.
- Quotes
Jack Gable: I am dead! I'm in Hell! And my punishment, is to spend eternity on my own show!
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits appear as if they are being typed on a typewriter, including some mistakes (cross-outs, use of white out, etc.).

Featured review
This is one superb movie. I can watch it over and over and over again without tiring of it. John Candy is as engaging and as superbly comic as ever in this little gem. Also has a great cast including Emma Samms, Charles Rocket, Raymond Burr and Mariel Hemingway. ONE TO WATCH!
