Trivia:
The scene featuring David Spade was filmed in Toronto's first specialty video store Revue Video. Since the store specializes in films (Foreign Language and Classics) other than the ones feature in the scene, the whole look of the store had to be changed. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Paul is getting pizza, flowers, and a movie, we see him getting the pizza first. As he picks up the pizza box, he has a plastic green bag in his hand (presumably containing the video). But next we see Paul at the video store, and he is pizza-less. He rents a video, and it is put into a green bag and given to him. (This makes sense, since he would probably get the pizza last so it would be hot.) more
Quotes:
Adam: You gotta help me. Lisa is all primed but her helpful friend, fat Rita, will take her home unless she gets some action too.
Noah: OK, first of all, I'm way too wasted to be operating heavy machinery. And second of all, I got this spinner all G-ed out. She's liquid.
Adam: Leave her on the back burner. Take one for the team.

I don't know why people like to bash this movie, it is a nice little remake of the 1960 classic "the apartment" where in a businessman sells out to his bosses so they can use his apartments to have affairs with other women, but when one attempts suicide in his house, it happens to be the one he falls in love with, the same story is evident here, Biggs plays the role well, and Suvari could play Shirley MacLaine in future remakes, the same with Kinnear and MacMurray, this could become one of those films that could get young people involved into the classics.
