Alternate Versions
The 85-minute extended, unrated version is only about 2 minutes longer and there are some changes:
In the scene spoofing The Bachelor, the dialogue introducing Grant is different.
The scene with the cat on the toilet is longer.
There is some extra dialogue after the wizard gets kicked in the crotch.
Grant's last name is "Fockyerdoder" instead of "Funkyerdoder".
Julia shows Jack two extra cards.
When Nicky is thinking about the honeymoon, the dialogue is different.
The scene where Roz & Linda are talking is much more explicit.
Andy's introduction is longer and more suggestive.
I'd imagine that the main reason that people are paying to watch this is because it stars Alyson Hannigan. Well, she's in it, and she makes the most of a thoroughly unchallenging role, but unless you're a total completist, that shouldn't be enough of a reason to waste even 80 minutes of your life on this appalling waste of talent.
What the writer/directors seem to have missed is that if you're going to parody or satirise a scene from a decent movie, you actually have to add something. It's not sufficient to just throw a bunch of stolen scenes together in the hope that the conjunction will generate humour by itself. I honestly could not see one - not ONE - original thought or idea or line in the script or direction. That in itself is something of an achievement. The whole thing plays like it was scripted by teenagers, and not teenagers from the top end of the grade curve.
In fact, I have to wonder if this films is deliberately aimed at the lowest common denominator. If so, it missed by several yards to the south.
