Quiz
Dan Aykroyd (Moss) and Carrie Fisher (Claudia) were a couple before she married Paul Simon.

Blooper
When Erica and Opal run off to live with their father in Albany, it is clear they're not in Albany. For one the train station they get off at is a grand large station. Although still standing and in use as a bank, Albany abandon its large Union Station in downtown Albany for train service in 1968. In 1992 trains were using a small station located in the town of Rensselaer, which is across the Hudson River from Albany. Additionally en-route to their father's house they pass many small semi- detached homes which is reminiscent of Toronto, were most of the film was shot, rather than Albany where houses are larger and mostly detached.

Citazioni

She's not actually funny

Single mom Dottie Ingels (Julie Kavner) sells cosmetics in a department store and dreams of being a big comedian on the Tonight Show. She lives in Queens with her two daughters Erica (Samantha Mathis) and Opal (Gaby Hoffmann) in Aunt Harriet's house. When Aunt Harriet died leaving everything to Dottie, she sells everything to move to NYC. She works her way in small bars. She gets Arnold Moss (Dan Aykroyd) as her agent or at least his assistant Claudia Curtis (Carrie Fisher). She starts traveling and the girls are left at home.

The big problem is that I don't find Julie Kavner funny in this or that she has a funny act. This movie is desperate for somebody with standup experience. She needs an act that is actually funny. Samantha Mathis is playing an Annie Hall type as a teenager. The standup life seems so unrealistic. If I could ignore her standup, this could be a cute Nora Ephron movie especially considering that this is her directorial debut. It would be much better to concentrate on Erica's POV which has the possibility of skipping more of the mom's act.
