Dies und das:

Originally, the lead part was written to be an older, lonely storekeeper, with Dudley Moore in mind for the role, but when 'Andrew McCarthy' came on board, the part was rewritten to be the part of a young artist.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: Near the beginning of the movie, when Jonathan goes to pick up Roxie, he's wearing white shoes on his motorcycle, but the rest of the time he's wearing red shoes.

Dialogzitate:

Felix: Mr. Richards, you better put some camouflage on.
Mr. Richards: I am not putting shoe polish on my face, thank you.

DO YOU DREAM ABOUT ME

Oh, come on. It's a cute movie.

I was a little bit disappointed to see that this movie is a 4.8 on IMDb. After all it's not that bad. It's a funny story with a romantic plot. No, of course it isn't Oscar material, and it's not the ultimate comedy. But it's just a feel good movie that you'll enjoy if you're into cheesiness.

Honestly, if you're telling me that you couldn't laugh at Captain Felix and his dog, Rambo, you must not have a funny bone. Especially for that funny scene where he and Mr. Richards end up in that car chase with Jonathan and Emmy, I mean come on, you had to laugh at that. There are also more than a few funny scenes that I thought more people would get a kick out of. Apparently, I was wrong, but please do give this movie a chance. I grew up with it and still love it 'till this day. Not to mention every time I hear that song "Nothing's gonna stop us" I think of the mall. :D
