Trivia:
Since the filmmakers couldn't afford to pay extras, the scenes filmed at parties were filmed at actual parties that were taking place, with many Hollywood up-and-comers in attendance. Among the people in the crowd of the first party (who turn and look at the group as they enter): screenwriters Stephen Gaghan and Mike White.

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Mike is sitting up against the wall, he casts a shadow towards the window (which is the dominant light source).

Quotes:
Trent:
I'm gonna find me two waitresses here and I'm gonna pull me a Fredo.
Mike: Yeah, well they're all skanks.
Trent: What are talking about? Look at all the beautiful babies here.
Mike: The beautiful babies don't work the midnights-to-six on a Wednesday. This is the skank shift.

This is a hilarious film about nobodies claiming to be bigger than they ever will be!
Doug Liman showed much promise and I'm more than sure that one day he will continue to make bigger budget films (Bourne Identity)
Careers should also be good for the great Jon Favreau who is just a fantastically witty writer, Vince Vaughn who should get a headlining film and Ron Livingston who is still performing good roles.
I love the script in this film, the language is unique and the scenarios are superb... the sad fact is that there are hundreds of guys like Trent, Mike, Rob & Sue (played by Patrick Van Horn)
I urge everybody to watch this even though it might not be there cup of tea!
9/10
