Trivia:

In the scene after Doug and Steve are dumped, as they're driving on the highway, the song in the background was originally the somber "No Surprises" by Radiohead. This cut of the film was presented at the test screening in Westbury, New York about six months prior to the film's release.

Goofs:

Continuity: When talking to Richard Grieco after he runs into their van, the fake plant foliage the brothers are covered in disappears and reappears between shots.

Quotes:

Doug Butabi: [Doug reaches behind Cambi's neck and grabs the tag on her dress while they're sitting on the bed]
Cambi: What are you doing?
Doug Butabi: Checking your label. Just as I thought! Maaaade in heaven...
Cambi: [Irritated] Doug, I think you're past the opening lines.
Doug Butabi: [Swallows nervously] Hey, hey, hey! Is that a mirror in your pocket?
Cambi: What?
Cambi: 'Cause I can see myself in your pants!
Cambi: [Grabs Doug's collar and pulls him in close] Doug, if I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?
Doug Butabi: [laughs nervously and then stops, shocked] Umm... What?

Funny movie!

This movie was better than I expected! These two are such dorks, but that is what's funny! The outfits, the attitude, the car are all part of the comedy too. Best part: "Is that a mirror in your pocket, because I can see myself in your pants." Also the spoof of Jerry Maguire is great too. Watch if you are in the mood for a good comedy with funny humor.
