Trivia:

The final negotiating point to convince 'Mel Gibson' to do this film was the offer of a use of a producer's house for the summer, allowing Gibson to shoot the film and give his large family an excellent summer vacation home.

Goofs:

Continuity: When they are running from the police (after trying to get his black book back from the hairdresser), he hotwires a motorcycle to get the ignition on and start it. A few minutes later (after dodging the police), he appears to be turning on the ignition switch (key needed) before re-starting the motorcycle.

Quotes:

Marianne Graves: I need a bed. I need a bath. I need a massage. I need a manicure... I need my therapist.

Great laugh

I found this movie highly entertaining! It made me laugh alot. Goldie Hawn is great in the movie and her and Mel Gibson make a great couple.

The stunts are pretty good, and Goldie's costumes are stunning! You should definitely see this movie!
