Goofs

During the fashion trauma when everyone is fighting: When Russ and "Brittany" were fighting, after Brittany says "My turn" and hits him, causing him to fall into a pile of stacked glasses. You can obviously see that most of them are stuck together, and are fake - judging by the fact that none of them were broken.

User Reviews

the definition of "funny".

This movie is simply funny, it aims to make you laugh and no more. Anyone who dissect the plot and put the acting and screenplay of this film under a microscope is missing the entire point of this movie.

This is a comedy, not a documentary or an historical saga, this is plane humor, dumb with a bit of a slapstick taste... The entire situation is fictional of course and that's what so funny about it. I've read some comment about this movie here and the people who wrote these comment are way off, talking like those big-shot movie critics.

This is a fun movie to watch with a "stupid" yet hilarious story, simple comedy and a lot of what some people call "toilet humor" (which is always funny) - it's nothing more than pure entertainment and it leaves you with a smile on your face which is never a bad thing, right? I've seen this movie 5 times and I still laugh my heart out! :-D
