Director Garry Marshall described this picture as a humorous, poignant "exploration of how much we owe our parents.'' It is also, he agrees, a natural progression from his recent comedy, Flamingo Kid (1984). That film starred Matt Dillon as a cabana boy at a 1960's beach club, awed by a flashy, flamboyant car dealer, played by Richard Crenna, at the expense of his lower-middle-class father, played by Hector Elizondo. "The Flamingo Kid was set in an age of comparative innocence, when notions of thrift, hard work and a good education were challenged by the values of the get-rich-quick society," said Marshall. "There's been a lot of upward mobility in the time between the stories. The family relationship in Nothing in Common is more complex. It's much more of a dramatic comedy."
