    • Trivia
      The leather-coat guy that picks up Christina Applegate in the bar is her ex-husband, Johnathon Schaech.
    • Goofs
      When Courtney goes to talk to leather coat guy in the bar, she never runs out of olives in her drink even though she has been eating them for several minutes.
    • Quotes

      Peter: I'd be careful with those fat-free chips - they cause anal leakage.

      Roger: You cause anal leakage

      Peter: It says so on the bag.

      Roger: [reads the bag and spits chips out of his mouth] What kind of marketing braniac puts anal leakage on his product? How can they even sell that crap?

    • Crazy credits
      The closing credits show a montage of scenes, outtakes and the five main cast members are sitting on a couch talking directly to the audience. After the credits roll, the cast tells the audience that the movie is over, and to go home.
    • Alternate versions
      The scene where Roger tells Peter about cheap prostitutes in Costa Rica was cut from all theater versions in that country. The DVD version however, shows the complete sequence.

    Not too shabby
    I've read many of the comments left by previous viewers. If you glance over them, you will notice a pattern. Most of the scathing, heated comments are left by men, while the praising and positive ones are left by women. That should leave you with this logical conclusion. This is not a movie that most men will enjoy. This is a movie primarily aimed at single women (although I'm married and I found it amusing). Also, I realized that for some reason, people just can't seem to resist comparing this to "There's Something About Mary." I could be wrong, but I don't think this is supposed to be a sequel or anything of the sort, so why compare? It's two different movies. If you're a single female, who likes to have fun and not take things so seriously, I would highly recommend this movie. If you're male or of the Ethan Frome-type movie goer--then this is not for you. Enjoy.
