Quote from Director Tim Hill

There’s a John Hughes quality to it I suppose. It’s a fun movie for everybody with some deeper meaning. It doesn’t pander to kids, and it doesn’t go above their heads.

Quote from Oakes Fegley

It’s been really cool to work with them. We have had a lot of fun, even off set. They are all really cool people. When they were not on set, we played video games. We even saw a Shakespeare play, The Comedy of Errors.

Quote from Rosa Peart

This is a movie for the whole family—Grandma, Grandpa, parents, kids. You don’t have to worry about covering your kid’s eyes. You can just sit back and enjoy.
