Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The RV was so destroyed during filming that production needed four identical vehicles. The mountain descent scene alone totaled two of them.
This was peak 'workaholic dad learns lesson' cinema — part of a 2000s comedy wave including Cheaper by the Dozen and Are We There Yet? that now feels almost nostalgically dated.
