Goofs

Factual errors: When John and Max go to Chucks to confront him about his dinner at Arial's, John asks Chuck if he enjoyed the Blackhawks game which went into double overtime. The hockey playoffs are the only time a game would go into double overtime and are not being played at Thanksgiving time. Also, the NHL does not play hockey on either Thanksgiving nor Christmas Day, the only guaranteed off days, making a game impossible to occur. See more »

Crazy Credits

After the wedding, the limo window opens, and a hand,
presumably Jack Lemmon's, drops a dead fish onto the
pavement. Walter Matthau is standing on the sidewalk,
enjoying the moment. Jack Lemmon comes up quietly
alongside, and asks him, "Who left?" Matthau does a double-
take, and shakes his head, laughing. See more »
