Trivia
In a 2000 interview with IGN, director Frank Oz recalled that " . . . it was a tense time [shooting the film] because [Bill Murray] . . . and the writer and the producer . . . and Richard Dreyfuss . . . and me . . . and Disney (although less so Disney, I must say they were more supportive) . . . all had our view on how to make the script better. It wasn't out of mean-spiritedness, it was just that everybody felt strongly about how to make the movie better. That caused friction and a lot of tension, and that's what I remember, but it also caused the movie to be better. It turned out okay, I think."
Quotes

Goofs
A previous contribution states that the Marvin's vehicle plates are from NH, but they're from NYC. Did anyone consider that they'd keep a vacation vehicle at their summer home? The movie never reveals how they arrived at the lake from New York.
Alternate Versions
When aired on Showtime Family in April, 2018 a line of dialogue was deleted. When Bob goes to Dr. Marvin's lake home, for the first time, he senses that Dr. Marvin is angry and upset. Dr. Marvin's line, "Problems don't go away just because I do." has been cut.
