    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Francis Ford Coppola gave Robin Williams camping gear, to spend the night in his backyard, and $10 to spend at Toys R Us before shooting the film.
    • Goofs
      Jack tells his class that his birthday is September 12, but his parents were at a Halloween party the night he was born.
    • Quotes
      • [Jack, 18 years old but looking 72, arrives at his graduation ceremony]
      • Lawrence Woodruff: [addressing the audience] Ladies and gentleman, it is my honor to introduce this year's valedictorian, Jack Charles Powell.
      • [a round of applause approves of this choice]
      • Jack: [taking the stand] Thank you, Aristotle.
      • [He must take out spectacles to read the speech]
      • Eric - at 18: Yo, Jack, go get 'em!
      • Jack: I got it, Eric. I'm cool... I don't have very much time these days so I'll make it quick. Like my life. You know, as we come to the end of this phase of our life, we find ourselves trying to remember the good times and trying to forget the bad times, and we find ourselves thinking about the future. We start to worry , thinking, "What am I gonna do? Where am I gonna be in 10 years?" But I say to you, "Hey, look at me!" Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting. And if you're ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day... make a wish and think of me. Make your life spectacular. I know I did. I made it, Mom. I'm a grownup.

      At the end of the music, Jack's classmates can be heard calling for him to come out and play.
