** Fortunately, later in life, Graves had relaxed enough about it to jokingly hit on the (now-adult, of course) actor who played little Joey in cast reunions.

Although all involved were aware that the film was supposed to be a comedy, many of the actors admitted that they were unsure of the exact tone ZAZ were going for and basically had to be shepherded into giving the line readings they wanted.
