Trivia
At several points during the movie, Topher Grace's character stands in front of a fake play sign called "That 70's Play." A play adaptation of "That 70's Show" that Topher Grace starred in.

Goofs
At about 1h 30 mins when Nick is singing on stage, his voice switches to microphone in sync with the music, although he doesn't take the mic from CJ for another 10 seconds. Then when he steps off the stage singing and walking towards Chloe, his voice continues to come from the speakers even though he's wearing no sound equipment.

Quotes
Nick: [looking bored] Look it's five minutes to show; why do we always have to cut this so close?
JC: [putting his arm around Nick's shoulder] Come here, okay? The secret to success... is *relaxation*.
Nick: I'm relaxed.
JC: No. You know there was another guy in my band who couldn't relax either? To be honest with you, he was just as good a singer as me and the other guy.
Nick: [still looking bored] Justin... Timberlake?
JC: Whoever. Anyway, he should have been front and center more than he was, but he was *in* the closet, dealing with some personal issues. I'm not gonna say who it was.
Nick: [matter-of-factly] It was Lance Bass.
JC: So... You know what I'm talking about?
Nick: I don't think I do.

Never the 'twain shall meet

I love movies and i love music(being a musician myself) but for me it's a case of "Never the twain shall meet". In short I hate people singing in my movies. But this was bloody well done, just the right amount of singing and it made sense. In an era where most "comedies" try to depress the hell out of you for an hour (with a few scattered chuckles thrown in), before the funny and "poignant" ending. This was funny from the start and kept going all the way through. Definitely worth a watch and very entertaining.
