    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The song that Kincaid and the nuns are singing together in the van (much to Bryce's annoyance) is a 19th-century Italian traditional drinking song named "Bevilo Tutto", which encourages everyone to 'drink it all up'.
    • Goofs
      When Professor Asimov testified at the trial that Dukhovich killed his wife and child, Dukhovich's attorney objected that this was hearsay and the court granted the objection and excluded the testimony. The testimony was not hearsay. Hearsay is testifying about what someone else said happened. Asimov was testifying about events that he directly witnessed and the testimony should have been allowed.
    • Quotes

      Michael Bryce: This guy single-handedly ruined the word "motherfucker."

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits there's an outtake with Ryan Reynolds having to wait for church bells to stop ringing.

    Silly, funny, fun.
    Don't expect clever conversation, or a thoughtful plot line. It's just funny, action and it really works.
