Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the reasons Albert Brooks wanted to cast Charles Grodin as the father was because of Grodin's work on Candid Camera (1972). Brooks felt that Grodin would look like he wasn't acting, because on the TV show he had to fool ordinary people into believing that he wasn't acting.
- GoofsWhen Warren and A. Brooks leave to film a horse operation, he instructs the cameraman to get inside the car. Upon passing the front side car window, the actual cameraman used to film the scene along with a lighting grip and crew member are visible in the reflection.
- Quotes
Albert Brooks: [showing off a high-tech camera to be used in filming] Only six of these cameras were ever made. Only five of them ever worked. We have four of those.

Featured review
Real Life Is The Most Underrated movie ever!
I think what most filmmakers say when they watch a great film is "I wish I made that movie". This is one of those movies. Not only is this a comedy classic, I would say that this movie is ground breaking. And way ahead of its time. Albert Brooks, proves that he is one of the funniest comedians ever, and in my opinion one of the best actors on the screen. And the ending is simply brilliant, and at the same time "Hilarious". I would like to tell you more, "But I don't have the time, or the cord!"
