Did You Know?
| Trivia | Regarding Madonna's acting abilities, Director James Foley said she was very uptight and into every detail. "That's probably why it wasn't so good. In Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), when she didn't know what she was doing, she was being natural and at her best." See more » |
| Goofs | When Loudon flips through the prenuptial agreement, the first few text pages he flips through are identical. When he gets to the sexual-position diagrams, the various icons repeat on various pages. This is Wendy's father's way of overkill because he wants to make sure she and Loudon don't have sex.

| Quotes |
Cabbie #1:
So, you're getting married? Loudon Trott: Yep. Tomorrow at noon, I'm marrying Wendy Worthington. Cabbie #1: You? Nah. Loudon Trott: What? Cabbie #1: You marrying Wendy Worthington? I can't see it. You're not her type. Loudon Trott: You know Wendy Worthington? Cabbie #1: Sure. Wendy from Scarsdale. I had her in the cab once. Loudon Trott: Well, just because you happened to have given her a ride, that doesn't mean that you know her type. Cabbie #1: I didn't say I gave her a ride. I said I had her in the cab. [Loudon slumps back in his seat looking mortified as the cab stops] Cabbie #1: Here we are. That'll be $6.50. Loudon Trott: I don't have any money. Cabbie #1: Oh, forget it. For any friend of Wendy's. See more » |
