* AllStarCast: Pretty much anyone who was funny in the eighties shows up somewhere throughout the film.
* HideYourPregnancy: Creator/TraceyUllman was pregnant during filming.
* StarDerailingRole: Briefly. The film erased all the good will ''Film/TheColorPurple1985'' had given Creator/WhoopiGoldberg, before winning an Oscar for ''Film/Ghost1990''.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: In the modern world, she'd have not even needed to get up off her computer to do a lot of things, except when face-to-face meetings were needed, and sometimes those can be done over online chat services. Never mind that chat services have massively improved in the past few decades.
* TroubledProduction: Not a ''massively'' problematic one, but things were far from smooth. Nearly a dozen writers worked on the script, and the constant rewrites caused original star Creator/ShelleyLong to drop out and do ''Film/TheMoneyPit'' instead. Then, a few weeks into shooting, original director Howard Zieff was sacked after falling out with the producers and Creator/WhoopiGoldberg, leading to Penny Marshall being brought in to take over.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/BurtReynolds was the original choice for director but he had a falling out with producer Joel Silver and left the project.
* WorkingTitle: ''Knock-Knock''.
