Directed by: Howard Zieff
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Macaulay Culkin, Anna Chlumsky
Factual error: In one scene, Vada is showing off her mood ring. The movie is set in 1972 and mood rings were not created until 1975.
Factual error: The pirate ship ride was not invented until 1981; however, it appears at the carnival that is supposedly taking place in 1972.
Audio problem: At Thomas J's memorial service, Vada goes up to the coffin crying. Just after she says something about his glasses being missing, her father comes up to comfort her. Watch his mouth - he is heard talking but his lips aren't moving at first (they are in the next shot).
Vada: Mrs. Sennett, don't worry, Thomas J. Will be all right. My mother will take care of him.
Answer: I believe so. He was allergic to multiple substances, so he would have been thoroughly tested for just about everything.
