Directed by: Danny DeVito
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Ben Stiller, Harvey Fierstein, Eileen Essell
Genres: Comedy
Corrected entry: After Mrs. Connelly says, "Could you sprinkle some salt on the steps, they're terribly icy," Alex says his line and walks out without closing the door. After Alex slips and is lying on the stairs, the door is closed without anyone there to close it.
Corrected entry: Mrs. Connelly gives Alex a Bugle that she dipped in onion dip, but in the following shots the Bugle is no longer covered in dip. (00:09:35)
Correction: Alex bit off the part of the Bugle which had the dip.
Other mistake: When Alex shoots the harpoon and the old lady is returning to her apartment, Alex puts back the harpoon on the mantle and the rope of the harpoon is neatly folded back up. He wouldn't have had the time to properly do this by the time she returned.
Mrs. Connelly: Tell me about yourselves. What do you do Alan?
Alex Rose: Uh, it's Alex.
Nancy Kendricks: Alex is a writer.
Mrs. Connelly: Oh, a writer. I always thought of that as more of a hobby than a real job. I suppose I'm forgetting about Joyce.
Alex Rose: Joyce. James Joyce. Of course. Wonderful writer.
Mrs. Connelly: He died drunk and penniless.
Question: What is the word that Drew Barrymore says to her boss, which she claims means that he'll have it "right away"?
Answer: She says "tickety-boo" - later on he asks for her article and says he wants it "tickety-now" not "tickety-boo".
