    • 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.

    It's harmless fun
    First of all, this must be the biggest backstage of a theatre in the universe and the loudest that isn't heard in the auditorium. The music arrangements are very good and the actors are enjoying themselves, which is what makes the film a lot of fun. It's a spoof of how it is in the theatre. The stage manager doesn't leave it's place during the performance, no one is that loud during performance, but a lot of stuff happens backstage during performance. The orchestra doesn't stop playing when things go wrong, The entire production makes sure that the audience doesn't realise the backstage fights, problems and faults that happens in front of them. But, again, it's a fun film.
