Goofs
When Jack introduces Greg to Mr. Jinx, the cat changes many times between shots (from being a fat/hairy cat to a smaller one).

During the dinner scene, as Greg presents the cheap bottle of champagne, the mother calls him Rick. The closed captioning even reads as "That is so sweet of you, Rick." The closed captioning error has been fixed on the DVD (as subtitles) and D-Theater releases.

Debbie Byrnes appears to have a broken nose when hit by the spiked volleyball. She ends up with a black eye, but this is a common side effect of a broken nose.

Q
Is "Puff, the Magic Dragon" really about marijuana?
A
No. The song was released in 1963 and Newsweek alleged the following year that the song was about drugs - for example, "little Jackie Paper" refers to rolling papers, "dragon" to "draggin'" and "Puff" to smoking. However, the band (Peter Paul & Mary) have always denied these allegations, saying that the song is inspired by an Ogden Nash poem titled "Custard the Dragon," and is about children's loss of innocence.
