Trivialidades:

David Spade refused to let the set's stylist work on his hair. This accounts for his hair's tousled appearance in the film.

Errores:

Sin sincronía de Audio o Visual: When Richard is looking at the girl in the pool though his hotel window you can hear a zipper noise (as if his pants zipper was going down), but later in the scene you can see he is wearing boxers.

Citas:

Richard Hayden: [after Tommy explodes in a client's office] That guy may not call us.
Tommy: I can't believe he called me a psycho.
Richard Hayden: Hey, were you in there just now? You are a psycho... Good God. And comb your hair.

Bad, bad, bad, but Farley is hilarious.

Here we have a lame script that rips off "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" with a vengeance, as well as dozens of other movies (the deer scene, shamelessly stolen from "The Great Race," actually makes me mad), a weak story, and shallow characters, that is gloriously saved by Chris Farley. This guy is just too damn funny, and I laugh every time I watch this movie. The relentless energy and physical comedy displayed by a man of his size seems to defy the laws of physics. It's a shame he died so soon, because I don't think it would have been too long before someone cast him in a good movie.

Needless to say, anyone who labels this a comedy "classic" hasn't watched enough movies, but as a showcase for a gifted comedian who died way too early, it's fantastic.
