Trivia:

One of the many references to old teen movies is when Nicole suggests that she and Chase cruise down the strip, just like all the kids did in American Graffiti. A yellow deuce coupe like the one driven in the movie can be seen behind them when the stoplight turns green.

Goofs:

Continuity: At the beginning of the Centennial Dance, Nicole has more than one earring in each ear. A few seconds later, she only has one earring in each ear.

Quotes:

Dave: We used to be your friends, if you can remember that far back.
Chase: You know what I remember, Dave? I remember you cleaning out Eddie Lampell's locker because he said he'd be your friend.
Dave: I did the guy a favor!
Chase: I remember you buying Alicia Digressatio at the Student Council Auction last year, and then letting her spend the whole day with her boyfriend.
Dave: Do you have a point?
Dave: Yeah, my point is Dave, you're not mad at me. You're jealous.

50/50

This one is a guilty pleasure movie of mine. I can't explain why I like it, or if I even do like it, but when it's on I watch it. Sure it has my all time favorite movie babe Ali Larter in it, but you don't see me watching Varsity Blues or American Outlaws. Maybe when I discover what it is I like about this movie I'll post it later.
