Goofs

At around the 80 minutes mark with Haden in the hot tub and Jason Mewes character conversing with him there are multiple continuity errors. Haden is alternately leaning against the wall on the close in shots and then not on the zoomed out shot. Also, the items behind Haden vary between a glass and two rolled joints then to just a glass, and finally just the two joints.

bottoms up

First off, this isn't that bad of a movie,, i mean if you go in expecting only so much, look at it this way, you have Paris Hilton, who still can't act worth a lick,, but doesn't butcher the lines in this one,, now she doens't run around half naked in this one like House of Wax,, i know big disappointment there, the plot, well there ain't much of one,, i mean it is a barrel full of laughs all the way,, especially the bit about the gay uncle.. basically the main character has to win a bartending contest, and when he doens't win , he has to find a way to make money in Hollywood,, so he can bring it back to his dad to save his restauraunt in Minnesotta, all in all the movie was funny , yeah some was lame,, but all in all though it wasn't near as bad as people make it out to be.
