Trivia:
Scott Baio auditioned for the role of Maz. After casting Ralph Macchio, Baio was considered for another role but the producers felt it would be "too much" to have two icons of the 1980's in the film. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the diner scene where Artie's girlfriend Linda throws French fries at him, if you look at the window sill above Artie's shoulder to the left you can see a lone French fry that appears and disappears BEFORE she actually throws them at Artie. This scene is obviously compiled from multiple takes and somebody missed a French fry when they were cleaning up from the previous take. more

Totally Disappointing, 3 February 2007
2/10
Author: OhNowYouveBeenClowned from United States

As someone that was born and raised in New Jersey, a huge Howard Stern fan (back when it was free, that is), and a fan of both baseball movies and R-rated comedies, I had high hopes for this movie. Boy, was I off when I finally got to see this thing! The movie wasn't funny at all except for a few scenes here and there. The screenplay was more sitcom material than movie material where the comedic lines just don't sound natural at all. After one character says a "funny" line, it's followed by a silent beat as if it's allowing time for the audience to laugh before the story continues. What's that about??! Artie Lange's acting is horrible. He's no leading man and should just stick to supporting roles instead. It's a shame because some of biggest laughs I ever had in my life came from listening to the Howard Stern radio show which Artie helped tremendously when he was added to the show, but the comedy involved in Howard's show wasn't stale one-liners that fell flat. Instead, it was the realistic banter between everyone in the gang about their lives, arguing or busting each other's balls. You'd think Artie Lange would learn from his own radio show what would make a great comedy, but, no!, he chooses to make an 86-min. episode of The Artie Show instead.
