Trivia:
The scene featuring David Spade was filmed in Toronto's first specialty video store Revue Video. Since the store specializes in films (Foreign Language and Classics) other than the ones feature in the scene, the whole look of the store had to be changed. more

Errors in geography: The subways used in this movie are clearly not New York City subways. The subways in New York do not have padded seats or rounded windows. more

I liked this movie alot I found it to be very funny Jason Biggs in a role better than the one he had in American Pie and his American Pie Mena Suvari also has a great part and the roommates are pretty funny i was lucky enough too catch this movie on a sneak preview and it is on my list as a summer favorite.

Grade:A
