Dies und das:

Jonathan Jackson screen-tested for the role of Frank Wheeler. The final choice for the part was between Jackson and Michael Patrick Carter, who won the role.

Pannen:

Audio-Visuelle Asynchronität: A tin can telephone will only work when the string is taut. When Frank first uses it to call V in the tree fort, the string is quite clearly hanging slack. When Tom has a fight at the school dance, you can see him punch the guy in the back but the sound of the punch is delayed.

Dialogzitate:

V: There is a place you can touch on a woman that will make her go crazy.
Frank Wheeler: Where?
V: Her heart.

Querbezüge:

Nimmt Bezug auf "The Brady Bunch" (1969)

Soundtrack:

Taking Bernie To The Beach

some things we milk for all that they're worth

I saw "Milk Money" when I was eleven; much of what happens in the movie is the sort of stuff that would make any eleven-year-old boy think "Whoa...cool!" Looking back on it, I still think that it was pretty funny, but was it the most mature movie? No, and it doesn't pretend to be. I read somewhere that this movie was sexist; I wouldn't know one way or the other. All that I interpreted was that the movie was a nice, horny excuse to have fun. Richard Benjamin has proved himself to be quite capable as a director, and this adds to that.

I know, the prostitute-with-a-heart-of-gold context is a cliché, but this is a comedy, so it passes. And believe you me, this V (Melanie Griffith) is definitely a V for vendetta! Also starring Ed Harris, Malcolm McDowell, Casey Siemaszko, and a very young Anne Heche. Really entertaining, especially the report on the female reproductive system.
