Jack Reid: [on the phone] Tell the Mayor, I'm insulted. I would never jeopardize the journalistic integrity of this newspaper for some rent-a-mayor's political agenda.
Jack Reid: [to his son] So Britt, here we are again. Sent home after another schoolyard fight. I know you miss your mother. So do I. But I have to take care of 750 employees, and you have to take care of yourself. Still that seems to be asking too much.
Young Britt: But I was trying to stop some bullies...

Trivia
Michel Gondry was initially set to direct the film for Universal Pictures back in 1997, for what was to be his directorial debut. The script was written by Edward Neumeier and featured a villain who ate human hearts. Gondry initially wanted Vince Vaughn for the lead, but the parts of Britt and Kato were offered to Mark Wahlberg and Jason Scott Lee. See more »Goofs
When Britt and Kato arrive back at the Reid mansion right before their brawl through Britt's rooms, it is night. But during the fight, daylight can be seen through a window. See more »Quotes

I gave this movie a rating of 1. If I could go lower, I would. We saw it in 3D because we thought that since it was an action movie it would enhance the experience. We were wrong! The acting, the dialog, the language, the story, were all absolute crap! I expected it to be silly, even somewhat slap stick and stupid, but it was worse than that. I feel stupid for not walking out and asking for a refund on this movie. I've seen some pretty bad movies, but this is one of the first in quite a while that I really wished I had walked out on. I kept expecting, hoping that maybe it would get better, but it never did. Save your money, wait for the dollar rental, which in my opinion is still more than it's worth to see this movie. I'm a male in my 40s, and like a good action flick with car chases and comedy, but believe it or not, I actually enjoyed the Justin Bieber documentary/movie more than I did this, and I'm not even a Justin Bieber fan. That's how bad I thought this was.
