Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAn accident during filming killed stuntwoman Janet Wilder and injured her husband, stuntman Scott Wilder, and his father, stuntman Glenn R. Wilder. A boat was supposed to go over a ramp, fly over a mangrove hedge, land between two other boats, and stop in the water. Instead, the boat slid off the side of the ramp, flipped over, and landed in a crowd of crew and extras.
- GoofsOne of the final scenes shows a "media frenzy." A lens enters from the left of frame, but instead of being a prop TV camera, it's a Panavision Primo lens from a 35mm film camera used to shoot the movie.

Featured review
Exellent show, very funny and good entertainment. Leave the brain at the door mind you.
We watched this film a year or show ago and again this week. I found it as funny now as I did when I first watched it. Good, clean family entertainment. Joe & Danny player two loveable characters in the film and their Aim, to get away and have a days fishing, is one that many could relate to. I find their loyalty to each other even when things reach rock bottom refreshing. There are moments in the film that are hilarious, especially when Joe gets hit by lighting for, for the third time in his life. What are the chances of that??? Overall a thoroughly funny and very enjoyable film just ensure you leave your brain at the door and enjoy it.
