Trivia

The guy Harper plays miniature golf with (Jake Robinson) is never named, only referred to as "golf guy." Consequently, in the credits he is also listed as "golf guy."

Goofs

When Rick exits the club (at about the 4:00 minute mark), he has Charlie twist the cap off of his green juice drink. Charlie never hands the cap to Rick, yet you see him fully twist the cap on as he approaches the arriving car. In the next shot, the cap is back off, and Rick's left hand is down by his side (he is holding the bottle in his right hand). In the following shot, Rick's left hand is on top of the bottle twisting the cap on again.

User Reviews

Super cute...

.... there were definitely some places where it could've been funnier, but overall I enjoyed it. It was super distracting at the end when all the passerby's were staring, obviously meaning they couldn't afford to block side walks and hire extras. The Positive: I found myself smiling long after scenes had ended. Definitely a feel good movie.
