Trivia:
The video game that D.A.R.Y.L. plays is "Pole Position". moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: During Daryl and the doctor's car chase, they're supposed to be somewhere in Northern Virginia. However, they're clearly in Orlando, Florida. In one shot, a billboard for RonJon's Surf Shop is clearly visible. In another shot, on the freeway, you can read the exit sign for Orange Blossom Trail. This is on the East West Expressway. moreSoundtrack:

Yes, it is a movie divided into two uneven parts. Yes, the first part is more likable and low-key, while the second one goes for a few too many action scenes (although it does have some thrilling moments). But overall, the movie handles a difficult subject with a touching simplicity (and NOT simple-mindedness), is collectively well-acted, and good fun all around. (***)
