Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFor years, there has been a rumor that the scene at the Turtle Club happened to be filming on September 11, 2001. When word of the terrorist attacks reached the set, the cast and crew observed a moment of silence (with Dana Carvey already in the turtle costume). This is not entirely correct. What actually happened was that the film didn't even begin production until September 24, 2001. The "Turtle Club" scene was the first scene they shot. Everyone felt weird to make such a silly movie after such a terrible tragedy. Right before they filmed, director Perry Blake gave a heartfelt speech to the cast and crew, there was a moment of silence (yes, Dana was still in costume) and then Blake called "action".
- GoofsWhen Pistachio and Jennifer go to the toy convention to find Bowman she says her name is Barbara, and Bowman invites her to his house. When Pistachio comes looking for her at the door (as the German Guy and the Snobby English Guy) he says he needs to talk to Jennifer Barker. Wouldn't he ask to see Barbara instead of Jennifer? Also Bowman knows her as Barbara and didn't say anything about him calling her Jennifer.
- Quotes
Pistachio Disguisey: Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club. Turtle, turtle, turtle!
- Crazy creditsDuring the final credits, there are scenes from a wedding between Pistachio Disguisey and Jennifer, as well as Dana Carvey hamming it up in several disguises, some 'bloopers', and Dana acting out scenes from other movies/shows.
- Alternate versionsIn the UK, to avoid a '12A' rating, a series of headbutts were removed. This cuts seven seconds.

Featured review
I Thought It Would Have Been Good to See Dana Carvey Back But..
Oh my! "Opportunity Knocks" and "Clean Slate" were not exactly film classics, although compared to this movie, they may as well have been works of Shakespeare. Arguably the dumbest movie I have ever paid money to see in theatre (thanks to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" being sold out), this does not fit in the dumb but funny category of most of Adam Sandler's or Chris Farley's films, but in the jaw-droppingly dumb category. My wife and I often gazed at each other in amazement during this movie, unable to exactly process that something this truly silly and dumb was made (much less by Dana Carvey and Adam Sandler) and even stranger that others in the crowded theatre were laughing their heads off! We were excited to see Dana Carvey back in the movies, but there was good reason why this movie was not screened for review ahead of time.
To continue, I should say we had misgivings about seeing the film after the TV trailers that kept showing the "turtle" sequence, but decided that part was just silly fun and there's no way the rest of the movie could be so unclever and dumb. To our amazement, that was easily the most intelligent and serious part of the film! Think carefully before wasting your time with this one.. I score it a generous 3/10.
