    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      For the scene in which Dane Cook grabs and squeezes Kate Hudson's butt, a "stunt butt" was used.
    • Goofs
      When the first of Dustin's eyebrows is shaved off, it is clear that he has prosthetic makeup over the area, as the ridge of that eyebrow is suddenly quite a bit lower than the ridge with the remaining brow.
    • Quotes

      Ami: If "ifs" and "buts" were cocks and nuts, I'd be getting gang banged right now.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove strong visual sex references (sight of a man's head between a lapdancer's buttocks), strong verbal sex references (a man telling an adult joke to a group of children and a crude and explicit monologue about a sexual experience) and one aggressive use of very strong language in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut 18 classification was available.

    Be no means a classic, but...
    I'm not particularly into Dane Cook. Got nothing against him, either.

    Sure, the movie is somewhat clichéd and brings nothing new to the table, but while it might not be an instant classic, it does include some rather hilarious scenes.

    My favourite scene must be the scene in "Cheesus Crust". Call me low-level, but that was funny as hell. I laughed like I hadn't laughed in ages. It was great.

    Perhaps one of the factors that made me like the movie is the fact, that I can be somewhat of an asshole myself. Yeah, I recognized some of the actions from myself. Not that I'm proud of it.

    Yes, many of the jokes aren't gonna make you burst out laughing and the whole romantic scheme is kinda yawn-inspiring, but it kept me entertained and my mug glued to the screen. And that's why I gave it a solid 7.
