Trivia
Tim Allen is seen being released from Los Angeles Federal Prison at the start. Allen spent two years in prison himself following a 1978 drug arrest in Michigan.

Goofs
Since Tommy was already convicted, sentenced to and served 36-months in a Federal prison, he would be released free and clear, and would not need to report to a Parole Agent or Probation Officer. Parole is an early release program and probation is a diversionary program.

Quotes
Tommy: I do my best to be unappealing, but man, it's a losing battle.

boring and flat

This movie should have been good, but just fell flat. I can't put my finger on why exactly. From the first minute, it's boring. The acting is not good, even Sigourney Weaver is not good! The script is flat.

Nothing really happens. We watched this for about 45 minutes and just couldn't take it any longer.

The main character is released from prison and supposedly trying to restart his life. It doesn't make much sense. The grandmother supposedly believes he's been in France for three years rather than prison. The sister (Weaver) is domineering towards her husband but flakes when around her brother. Doesn't make sense. The parts that are supposed to be comedy (Allen's character daydreams about violently attacking various characters) - aren't funny in the slightest.

I felt like it SHOULD have been at least okay, but just wasn't!
