National Lampoon connection?


I've seen this movie tons of times and I love it, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the National Lampoon connection is to the movie? Is it actually a National Lampoon movie or not?

reply

It's not a National Lampoon movie. The listing is wrong. It was being developed as a Lampoon movie, to star John Belushi and be directed by Penny Marshall, but he died right when things started rolling. They made the movie anways, without the Lampoon's involvement, and then showed the movie to Matty Simmons, who ordered the Lampoon name taken off the picture because he hated the end result so much.
