Okay my movie "is a 1998 American satirical science fiction film" that was "inspired by an episode of The Twilight Zone" and "was nominated for three [Academy] awards but did not win in any category."

"One day, he [the main character] takes Meryl by surprise by going on an impromptu road trip, but their way is blocked by increasingly implausible emergencies."

Galaxy Quest?

[Kyle]

Incorrect. In this movie, the main character "was intended to fall in love with and marry co-student Meryl, but he fell in love with another actress, Sylvia. "

The Truman Show?

[Kyle]

Correct! Your turn, Tahlvin.

The film was the first one directed, written and produced by John Hughes under a multi-picture agreement deal with Universal. Filming began on January 4, 1989 in Chicago. The company decided to keep the production facilities and locations as close as possible. The vacant New Trier High School in Northfield, Illinois was chosen for the production facility. Three of its gyms were converted into sound stages on which several sets were constructed including the two-leveled interior of the [family] House, [role]'s bedroom, a corridor in the elementary school, the boys' restroom, the principal's office, a classroom, and several smaller sets. The school was also equipped to suit the needs of the cast and crew behind-the-scenes, classrooms for the young actors, offices, dressing rooms, wardrobe department, editing facilities, a special effects shop, equipment storage areas, and a projection booth. Production designer John Corso began designing the sets in October 1988 and within seven weeks his construction crew of twelve carpenters and five painters began work on the two levels of the [family] house. A colonial-style house in Evanston was chosen for the exterior of the [family] house. The exteriors and practical locations were shot in Chicago, Cicero, Skokie, Northbrook, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, and Riverwoods.

I think it’s a trick question. But I’ll guess it anyways: 16 Candles

Uncle Buck?

[Tahlvin]

Wrong on both counts.

A television series was broadcast on CBS in 1990. It starred Kevin Meaney as [role], a slob who drinks and smokes. When Bob and Cindy die in a car accident, he is named as the guardian of Tia, Miles, and Maizy. The show was not received well by TV critics. After it was moved to Friday, in an attempt by CBS to establish a comedy night there, its ratings quickly plummeted and it was canceled.

In June 2016 ABC premiered a second television adaptation with Mike Epps in the title role, James Lesure as his brother and Nia Long as [role]'s sister-in-law. This version features an African-American cast.

I think y’all cross posted. I think poorpete guessed it.

[poorpete]

Shall I go with it, or wait for official confirmation?

[Zen]

It DOESN'T just happen to me!

[Tahlvin]

Pete was correct!

"It was a lucky shot, I’ll tell you," Spheeris said. "I had been just struggling as a female director in this business for many years. I was 45 years old when I got that job. I just kept hanging in there. And ..... happened, and it sort of flipped my life around."

Roger Ebert said in his review: "I walked into ..... expecting a lot of dumb, vulgar comedy, and I got plenty, but I also found what I didn't expect: a genuinely amusing, sometimes even intelligent, undercurrent."
