Curiosità:

The "Crazy Eddie" commercial that surprises Madison in the electronics department was for an electronics store that had up to 43 stores in four states, and used WPIX-FM disc jockey Jerry "Dr. Jerry" Carroll as their spokesperson, delivering a frenetic nonstop sales pitch that was based on used car salesman Earl "Madman" Muntzand ending with his pitch with "Crazy Eddie, his prices are IN-SA-A-A-A-A-A-ANE!" The store chain was started in Brooklyn in 1971 by Eddie and Sam M. Antar, and closed in 1989 after charges of fraud and security violations.

Errori:

Continuità: After Madison dives into the sea after meeting Allen for the first time, you see her swim off clearly wearing a t-shirt, she was naked before she got in the water.

Citazioni:

Allen: She's really hungry.

Great Splash!

I used to watch this movie as a kid and occasionally when I was in my teens but I watched it again now (im 24) and I must say its an excellent movie, which also has a very good story line, and one you can relate to if you have been in a relationship where your asking yourself many questions about the person your with and things that do which don't make sense! Not that we are dating mermaids, but it is a movie that has Alan (Tom Hanks) in a very real situation of been in love with someone who he is trying to figure out who she is but she wont give the answers or really open up. Its a movie of great comedy also!! John Candy and Eugene Levy are hilarious!!!! As is Tom Hanks! Some of the one liners and scenes in this movie will have you in stitches!!! This for me is a movie that could have been released today and still do very very well. A great movie which I can watch over and over!
