Trivia:
In the commentary the guys say they heard of John Farnham because he had some songs on Rad (1986). They used the song You're the Voice by Farnham in the riot scene. "Rad" was a 1986 movie about a young man's journey to win a BMX race called Helltrack. more
Goofs:
Continuity: While Rod's movie is playing in the auditorium, they show the part when he first jumps the milk truck in the beginning of the movie. The angle that it shows is the same angle from the beginning. But Rods half brother was actually filming from the other side. more
Quotes:
Denise: Who cares what anyone thinks?
Rod Kimble: You don't get it, do you Denise? I used to be legit. In fact, I was too legit. I was too legit to quit. But now I'm not legit. I'm un-legit. And for that reason I must quit.
Denise: You don't mean that.
Rod Kimble: Yeah, I do... Stay Sweet.

I saw a free screening of this in CT. I wasn't sure what to expect at first... but I laughed a lot more in this movie then any comedy to come out in a long time. Expect a bunch of randomness that will make you laugh out loud. The movie is definitely a movie for a certain type of viewer..IE: People who enjoy a "silly/stupid" genre of comedies. A very SNL-derived movie. Laughs are frequent,everyone at the cinemas was laughing. A good performance, a Hilarious Andy Samberg and cast, and the beautiful Isla Fisher is always nice to watch. Be prepared to leave the theater knowing your friends will be quoting this movie for a while. I highly recommend this movie to other viewers.
