Behind the scenes
- The MPAA certificate number is 18327.
- Granny's last line, "Que sera, sera," is a reference to the song "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)," which was popularized in the 1956 Alfred Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much. The phrase itself is supposed to be Spanish in origin, although it is grammatically incorrect to the language, as it would be "lo que será, será."
