John Hughes' final film as a writer before his death in 2009. As in Beethoven (1992) and Maid in Manhattan (2002), he requested his name be removed (since so much was changed between script and movie) and is credited as Edmond Dantes, title character of Le Comte de Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas père.

Goofs

When the stolen goods have been returned, the window is intact, even though Don had broken it earlier when he was robbing the house. There is no way there was enough time to fix the window in time.

Share this

When the three boys are sitting in Principal Doppler's office telling him what happened to them by Filkins, he is leaning against the door. He walks in and a person with a checkered shirt (Ronnie?) is walking in following behind him, but then disappears from the scene.

Share this

When Wade approaches Brooke during lunch there is a girl in a pink top sitting next to Brooke. In the next cut the girl in pink is no longer sitting there. There are two other girls sitting on the opposite side of the table as Brooke so that Wade can sit down.

Quotes

Filkins: Think you're so funny? Good. Cause you're not gonna laugh when you're dead. You're gonna get it now, worse than ever. All of you.

Share this

Ryan: Me and Emmit are gonna back you up.

Share this

Ryan: If I don't survive, you should definitely sue Emmit's family.
