    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Matthew McConaughey said he shaved his head, gained 45 pounds and wore false teeth to make himself even uglier than usual for the character. He claimed he gained the weight by eating cheeseburgers and drinking lots of beer and milk shakes.
    • Goofs
      When Mike Acosta explains the tectonic plates rubbing and grinding up on each other, he mentions that they do this under "Six trillion kilobytes of pressure" which is incorrect. Pressure is measured in kilo-pascals not kilobytes.
    • Quotes

      Kenny Wells: The guy who invented the hamburger was smart. But the guy who invented the cheeseburger... Genius.

    Actually a pretty entertaining movie

    I actually thought this was a pretty good movie, despite the relatively low ratings. Both McConaughey and Ramírez played very well, also good to see Stoll in this movie. The story was entertaining, never a dull moment (unlike Moonlight, sorry, but that was really boring and I believed the rave reviews...). Anyway, it was worth seeing it!
