Watched this on Netflix


Wow, I'd heard about this movie before and that it was good... but I didn't know how good it was. I finally watched it and loved it. A very cleaver movie with good jokes and very well written. I laughed through the film and found it to be pretty timeless.

-100/10. Possibly one of the worst movies of the 80's. What was the studio thinking when they greenlit this trash? Teri Garr reached her peak with Young Frankenstein then went downhill. Michael Keaton's just as stiff here as he is in everything he does. I loathed this movie. The incompetent husband/father who can't do squat as a stay at home dad at first while his wife succeeds with ease. Right, like they both wouldn't struggle and she wouldn't help him out or have friends help. Martin Mull should've known better. If anything, I only liked Ann Jillian as the sexy neighbor though her interest in Keaton baffled me.

Continuity mistake: When the TV repairman shows up to find out what's wrong with the TV for the last time she says that she found out the problem with the TV: "this shoe." It was a shoe that was left in the TV after Michael Keaton kicked the screen in. However, watch the scene, his shoe never leaves his foot.

Question: After the scene where Jack convinces Kenny to give up his "woobie" for a couple days, he's in the kitchen and throws some noodle like things into a boiling pan. They immediately boil up and start to go in every direction soon looking like a mop head. What was it he threw in that pan and why did it react that way?

Answer: Deep-fried rice noodles. I believe they're known as cellophane noodles. That's actually how they react. You heat oil in a pan and when the noodles hit the oil they "explode" like what you see in the film.
