    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Originally, Melissa McCarthy's role was written for a male. Jason Bateman insisted that the part be changed after he saw McCarthy in Bridesmaids (2011).
    • Goofs
      When the real Sandy is driving to Colorado with Diana. He swerves the car to bang her head against the passenger door, twice. The camera tries to move to make it look like a swerve but the background behind the car does not change the motion.
    • Quotes

      Diana: I just want to be upfront and say I visually enjoy you.

    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits, we hear two lines of dialog from earlier in the movie. The Skiptracer Robert Patrick saying "No, Sandy's a girl's name!" And Sandy Jason Bateman replying "It's not, it's unisex!"
    • Alternate versions
      The studio thought that it was necessary to enrich the DVD/BD releases with a longer Unrated Cut that adds almost 9 minutes of material. The clear conclusion here is that the majority of those scenes feel like they were cut out of the theatrical version because they simply weren't needed or slowing down the events. Typical "unrated" material that could've been too risky for the "R"-rated theatrical version is nowhere in sight.

    6/10
    People need to take this for what it is!
    Actually a 6.5 out of 10.

    The movie wasn't smart, it wasn't even very good.

    But it didn't need to be. It was stupid and funny and predictable. The actors were all more than competent and the script and direction were funny.

    There was literally NO substance to this movie. And I think the audience hated me when I started laughing during one of the scenes that were meant to be melancholy.

    Go for the fun not for the substance. And you'll be in for a fun night!

    6.5/10.
