    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The leather-coat guy that picks up Christina Applegate in the bar is her ex-husband, Johnathon Schaech.
    • Goofs
      When Courtney goes to talk to leather coat guy in the bar, she never runs out of olives in her drink even though she has been eating them for several minutes.
    • Quotes

      Peter: I'd be careful with those fat-free chips - they cause anal leakage.

      Roger: You cause anal leakage

      Peter: It says so on the bag.

      Roger: [reads the bag and spits chips out of his mouth] What kind of marketing braniac puts anal leakage on his product? How can they even sell that crap?

    • Crazy credits
      The closing credits show a montage of scenes, outtakes and the five main cast members are sitting on a couch talking directly to the audience. After the credits roll, the cast tells the audience that the movie is over, and to go home.
    • Alternate versions
      The scene where Roger tells Peter about cheap prostitutes in Costa Rica was cut from all theater versions in that country. The DVD version however, shows the complete sequence.

    Hilarious!
    I don't really get it why most of the comments are so negative. I personally think the movie was very, very funny. Ok, perhaps some of the jokes were kind of predictable, but hey, once you've seen a few good jokes, all the lesser ones are funny too.

    My friend and I picked this movie ten minutes before it started and without knowing what to expect. But we're certainly glad we chose this one.

    I don't know wether there was poor acting in this film or that it should have been directed more professionally... I was just too busy laughing!!
