Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hawn and Russell had been partners since 1983 and their real son Wyatt was born the same year this filmed. That chemistry isn't acting.
The 2018 gender-swapped remake with Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez exists, but nobody remembers it because some lightning only strikes once.
