Trivia:
The man on walking past the Finney residence to whom George says, "Hi, Andy," is David Spade's brother Andy Spade, who was visiting the set that day. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Grace Finney gets mad at Dickie for saying "crap" at the dinner table, yet minutes later she is fine with Sally saying that the tree house is "old and crappy". moreQuotes:

A silly comedy starring David Spade as a former child star who "hires" a family in order to give himself a real childhood experience so he can nab a new part in a Rob Reiner movie. The premise is as silly as you can get but it does have some fun injokes involving quite a number of former child actors from the 70s and 80s which is great fun for tv nostalgia buffs.. Pleasant enough comedy. GRADE: C
