    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Frank's streaking scene was shot on a city street. As Will Ferrell remembered it, one of the storefronts was a twenty-four-hour gym with Stairmasters and treadmills in the window. "I was rehearsing in a robe, and all these people are in the gym, watching me. I asked one of the production assistants, 'Shouldn't we tell them I'm going to be naked?' Sure enough, I dropped my robe and there were shrieks of pure horror. After the first take, nobody was at the window anymore. I took that as a sign of approval."

      In order for their total score to drop from an 84 average to a 58 average with Blue's 0 scores, there could only have been 2 members (3 if you include Blue). In fact, with 15 members, their score could only drop to a 79.6%.
    • Quotes

      Mitch Martin: True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend...

    • Crazy credits
      During most of the end credits, there are scenes showing what happened to the main characters.
    • Alternate versions
      The Unrated DVD contains about a minute of new footage. It includes more of Frank streaking and more with Andy Dick's character, with references to animal sex and ejaculation.

    You're My Boy, Blue!

    This is one of the movies that started off the "Frat Pack". Although not consistently funny, the movie does have its iconic moments that can be compared to later comedies.

    It had great chemistry between the actors and quotable lines. Sean William Scott's cameo was one of the funniest scenes in the film. Will Ferrell definitely had the best scenes.
