    • Trivia
      Gene Siskel said he hated this movie so much that it almost made him quit his job. He continued that seeing Say Anything (1989) later that day encouraged him not to quit. When Ami Dolenz heard that, she said, "I think movie critics are kind of crap, anyway. I'm sorry, but what a horrible job to have, to criticize other people's work, so that's why I never read them. I really don't care either way. I never really got it. I know that people have their own opinions and views and everything, but I never got into reading any kind of critics."

      Bonnie Simpson: [about Timothy] So, dad. What do you think? Perfect, right?

      Doug Simpson: [almost laughing] Yeah, wow. Yale, perfect. At last, perfect. Home by 11, perfect. I, uh... wait a minute. Chapter 52. He's too perfect!

    Siskel and Ebert were rather pretentious

    I only felt the need to chime in here after seeing a review albeit 30 years old by Siskel and Ebert. They pretty much hated the movie so much they wanted to rethink their careers.

    Yeah it's not anything profound or brilliant but I enjoyed it. And I'm a guy that likes classic movies as well, Gaslighting, The Godfather, On The Waterfront, Citizen Kane, Sound of Music, Gond With The Wind, etc.....

    The movie is definitely very late 80's and reminds me of times/friends before the internet. Tony Danza plays an overprotective dad worried about his daughter whose now discovered boys and starts dressing sexy. All in all the movie's a hoot and reminds me of simpler times!
