Trivia

In the scene where Aunt Lucille is saying "Rick walked off a class trip" Uncle Albert is reading a newspaper. If you look closely the back page of the newspaper is an advertisement for a book called "Forgiving the Franklins" which is actually a movie written by Jay Floyd who is a clearance administrator for Superhero Movie.
