Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGene 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."
- GoofsWhen Richard is in the kitchen talking to Doug, he speculates about what would happen if Katie met a duke or a prince in Europe. He asks "What about that Prince Charles guy?", and Doug responds, "Prince Charles is married." However, both men's lips form the word "Andrew" instead of "Charles."
- 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!

Featured review
Silly & predictable, but its O.K.
I didn't mind this film. It's one of those films that are good to watch really late at night, when you really just want to wind down. It is pretty silly, but it has some funny moments. Ami Dolenz can't act very well, but in the role she is playing it really doesn't matter. Dana Ashbrook is very amusing as the leather clad boyfriend from hell. But Matthew Perry is not particularly convincing as the all too perfect Yale college boy. Tony Danza seems to be treating the whole exercise like an extended version of a Who's the Boss? episode, which is probably why he was given the part. Although it's not very original, and similar theme films have done it much better, it's still not a bad effort. At least it was not boring.
