    • Trivia
      The scar on Brittany Snow's forehead is real although it is more pronounced in the film. On her scar Brittany stated, "I got my scar when I was 3 years old from falling on a brick. My sister was babysitting me and forgot she was babysitting me and then I fell and tripped and split my head open. I chose not to get plastic surgery on it. I chose to embrace it. Now, I think it adds character. I like it."
    • Goofs
      When Al Pacino mentioned the food dye stamp on the pigs head, he stated " The FDA stamps pig heads with a code number in case of disease." The stamp is true, but the FDA works only processed or adulterated food products; not fresh meat products. This is the job of the USDA, United States Department of Agriculture.

    Starts good, but gets pretty lame pretty fast

    Brittany Snow's entire character shouldn't exist, unrealistic and just awful development/acting/script regarding her entire role.

    Entire ending is terrible.
