- TriviaOn Twitter, Richard Dreyfuss said "I had so much fun with Jenna Elfman during Krippendorf. The movie was not very good, but we had some fun."
- GoofsKrippendorf repeatedly refers to the Shelmikedmu as a Neolithic tribe, but their level of development would mean they are technically Paleolithic (pre-Neolithic).
- Quotes
James Krippendorf: [to his teenage daughter] Excuse me! Who is the adult in this room?... Don't answer that! I am the adult in this room.

Featured review
Classic slapstick at its nouveau best
Dreyfuss has always been a master of high humor and KT is another enjoyable vehicle for it. Elfman is funny and vivacious, as well as lovely to look at. Both stars work well together. I laughed throughout; appreciating the movie for what it was meant to be: good comedy. I recommend this film for anyone wanting a lot of good laughs.
