Goofs:
Crew or equipment visible: One of the final scenes shows a "media frenzy." A lens enters from the left of frame, but instead of being a prop TV camera, it's a Panavision Primo lens from a 35mm film camera used to shoot the movie.

Quotes:
Phil Beasly:
Now think of the words easy payments.
Joe, Gus: Easy payments.
Phil Beasly: They're just 810 little payments of $39.95. You don't like it in 30 days which you will, we'll take it back. No questions asked. So if you need anything, I mean anything just say out loud the words, "Hey, Phil!"
Phil Beasly: [leaves]
Joe, Gus: [happily] Hey, Phil!

This was "Dumb and Dumber" without the crudeness and profanity. That doesn't mean it's an award winner: it's pretty stupid, but it is refreshing to see a movie in which both Joe Pesci and Danny Glover star and never utter a profane word! Unbelievable! And you can add Rosanna Arquett to that list, too, and she wasn't exactly Mother Teresa in a lot of films.
The professional critics totally lambasted this film, which wasn't altogether fair, either. It is refreshing in its innocence (something critics know nothing about) and it has its funny moments. Best of all it's entertaining. Yes, this is "Lightweight" with a capital "L" but I've seen a whole lot of films that were the opposite and total garbage. At least you watch this with your kids and have some laughs. What's wrong with that?
