Trivia
Robin Williams' final film. He had completed his dialogues before his death in August 2014 and the film was released a full year after.

Goofs
The Pioneer probe is depicted flying with its parabolic dish pointing forward. Obviously, in reality this dish was pointing towards Earth at all times, which would not be in the direction of travel by the time of the Saturn encounter.

Quotes
Neil Clarke: I can do ANYTHING! Okay... bu... but... what do I *really* want?
[Looks down and laughs]
Neil Clarke: GIVE ME A REALLY BIG DICK!
[Falls over]
Neil Clarke: Augh! ouch! NOT *THAT* BIG! Obviously! Dick, return to your old size!
[Gets up]
Neil Clarke: Agh! Ah... Ok. Um... Let me have a penis that women find exciting!
[Looks down]
Neil Clarke: Yeah, it's good, yeah. Could I have it white?

Crazy credits
During the credits, pictures of the film's story board are shown, as well as clips of Robin Williams recording a few of his lines.

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, this film was originally seen for advice. The distributor was advised the likely classification was 15 but that their preferred 12A could be obtained by reducing the quantity of strong language. When the film was submitted for formal classification, the number of uses of strong language had been reduced and the film was therefore classified 12A.

A simple, silly, but funny and enjoyable family movie.

What should I start with ? Oh, yes, I don't really get the mediocre score and reviews for this movie. Yeah, it's not another Holymollywood show (thank heavens!), it's not amazing in any way, but it does great at being a simple, enjoyable and funny movie to watch with your family. Both Simon Pegg and Kate are lovely to watch here.

You can just sit, relax and have a fun time. It clearly doesn't try to be smart or serious, people should understand this. There's also a tiny but nice message in it, that once understood, makes a better image of it all. If you enjoyed "Hector and the search for happiness", you should give this one a try. We need more movies like this!
