<i>I did enjoy the cast, which made it bearable even for a film I didn't care for.</i>
Same here. I actually liked most of the cast members. But this type of humor just doesn't connect with me. Like when John Goodman's character smashed up the Corvette with a crowbar. Some people think that scene is hilarious, but I didn't see any humor in it.
<i> It was a little peculiar to me, however, that we never see Rob again after his hasty exit for school before Fred has his breakfast in the Stephenson home, cooked for him by Peggy.</i>
According to the actor, Michael Hall, there was an issue with his contract and the studio did not want to pay him more money for what would have been a brief appearance as Rob. After getting only bit appearances in other films, the actor became a rather wealthy art dealer. He lived to age 93.
The robbery was Dick's idea. And he vowed not to leave behind any witnesses.
In horror movies there is always one dim lightbulb in the basement which stops working. Luckily a candlestick is always handy to light up those creaky stairs.
Whitney Houston was incredibly talented and at one point had millions of dollars. Like so many others, she lost everything, and died at age 48.
I found the show on TUBI. It's still fun to watch.
I idea of adding black, Latino, etc... characters for the sake of diversity wasn't widely considered in the '80s. Most black characters appeared in movies set in an urban environment, comedies, or historical films about the Civil War or similar themes.
In the movie Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) tells her lady friends that he is 'almost 18', so adoption doesn't make sense. He probably had no idea what a conservatorship was, but apparently he agreed to it when he was 18 years old. Legally an 18 year old is considered old enough to agree to binding contracts, etc...
<i>It was basically Harry and the Hendersons, if they had taught bigfoot to play Football!</i>
I recently re-watched the movie. I had forgotten the scene where they discussed his academic abilities. Mostly in the bottom 1/3 of the class. He was portrayed as a child-like gentle giant.
French spoken with a Canadian accent, eh?
