    • Trivia
      Sharon Stone's character is modeled upon Cybill Shepherd, a former lover of Peter Bogdanovich.
    • Goofs
      Casey argues with Lucy that she is 9 years old, when Lucy says that she is 8. Although the movie is trying to show how the parents neglect to remember her birthday, given that her date of birth is December 11, 1975, the Casey character would still be 8 at the time the movie was released.
