    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg started this script when they were just thirteen years old, because "we just wanted to see if we could write a movie."
    • Goofs
      After Seth dances with the period blood girl, she goes away and he tries to stash a bottle in his pocket. When he goes to put the bottle in the pocket, we see the blood stain is not on his pants yet.
    • Quotes

      Fogell: Yo guys! Sup?

      Seth: Fogell, where have you been, man? You almost gave me a goddamn heart attack. Let me see it. Did you pussy out or what?

      Fogell: No noooo, man. I got it; it is flawless. Check it!

      Evan: [examining the fake ID] Hawaii. All right, that's good. That's hard to trace, I guess. Wait... you changed your name to... McLovin?

      Fogell: Yeah.

      Evan: McLovin? What kind of a stupid name is that, Fogell? What, are you trying to be an Irish R&B singer?

      Fogell: Naw, they let you pick any name you want when you get down there.

      Seth: And you landed on McLovin...

      Fogell: Yeah. It was between that or Muhammed.

      Seth: Why the FUCK would it be between THAT or Muhammed? Why don't you just pick a common name like a normal person?

      Fogell: Muhammed is the most commonly used name on Earth. Read a fucking book for once.

      Evan: Fogell, have you actually ever met anyone named Muhammed?

      Fogell: Have YOU actually ever met anyone named McLovin?

      Seth: No, that's why you picked a dumb fucking name!

      Fogell: Fuck you.

      Seth: Gimme that. All right, you look like a future pedophile in this picture, number 1. Number 2: it doesn't even have a first name, it just says "McLovin"!

      Evan: What? One name? ONE NAME? Who are you? Seal?

      Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?

      Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with their fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called fucking strategy, all right?

      Evan: Stay calm, okay? Let's not lose our heads. It's... it's a fine ID; it'll... it's gonna work. It's passable, okay? This isn't terrible. I mean, it's up to you, Fogell. This guy is either gonna think 'Here's another kid with a fake ID' or 'Here's McLovin, a 25 year-old Hawaiian organ donor'. Okay? So what's it gonna be?

      Fogell: [grinning] ... I am McLovin!

      Seth: No you're not. No one's McLovin. McLovin's never existed because that's a made up dumb FUCKING FAIRY TALE NAME, YOU FUCK!

    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits, a repeat of Seth's (Jonah Hill) "love you" line is whispered.
    • Alternate versions
      When released on home video, the film was made available in an unrated version that had approximately 6 minutes of extra footage (most of which is extensions to existing scenes.)

    The Shawshank Redemption Of Comedies
    No, really!!

    Shawshank is the best drama and top of its genre. This is a top comedy that actually made me laugh and laugh.

    Like Shawshank the cops think they are in control to start, but end up getting what's coming to them.
