Trivia:

The board in the Scrabble game has several words relating to pregnancy and childbirth. In particular, one of the players somehow managed to play "episiotomy."

Goofs:

Factual errors: When Annie moves in with her parents, George narrates that Nina was 4 weeks from her due date and Annie was 2 days passed hers. However, the due date given for Annie was July 26 and the due date given for Nina was Sept 4. If it is in fact 2 days after Annie's due date (making it July 28), it would be a little over 5 weeks away from Nina's due date - not 4 weeks as stated.

Quotes:

George Banks: Now, going to the movies, that'll be economical: one child, two seniors, thanks.

Quit Standing On My Shutters!!!!!!

That is one of my favorite lines, followed by "and pack up your things and hit the road! And don't trample the daisies!" Or he says something like that.

Anyway. I went and saw this in theaters and amazingly enough, I really liked it. One of the best Steve Martin films next to Bowfinger and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I enjoyed the acting, I enjoyed the story and everything else about this movie that made it great. It wasn't a comedy going from one zinger to the next but something well thought out and well written.

If your looking for a lite movie with some fun, I recommend seeing this movie.
