Trivia
In Marley Brant's 2006 book "Happier Days: Paramount Television's Classic Sitcoms 1974-1984," Robin Williams revealed that he didn't watch the movie, joking, "If they're going to make a bad movie about your life, you should wait for the Cartoon Network version."

Goofs
In a scene depicting the first table read for the second season two part premiere episode "Mork in Wonderland," Gina Hecht and Jay Thomas are seen sitting down to read the script with the rest of the cast, but their characters of Jean and Remo DaVinci weren't introduced until the third episode of season two, "Stark Raving Mork."

Quotes
Robin Williams: I have to go now, my drugs are wearing off. Anyone wants to sue me, please call my law firms: Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy, and Shapiro.

An amazing performance

I have to agree with the first reviewer, the actor who played Robin Williams was amazing. If I wasn't looking at the screen, I would have sworn it was really him talking. But his performance was more than just an imitation of Robin Williams; he also showed a lot of the same skills that Robin Williams has. Skills like the ability to mimic others and the ability to switch characters practically mid-breath. I can't imagine that many people could capture so much of his character and personality. That performance alone made it a worthwhile watch.

The actors chosen to play other actors were good choices as well, they looked enough like the originals that it was easy to see who they were supposed to be.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
