Trivia:
Jerry Goldsmith had originally been selected to score the movie, but had to drop out at the last minute due to health reasons. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Mr. Sinclair calls to have his other Lear Jet ready for use, the next shot is a Gulfstream G-4 with five well spaced large oval windows. But the interior shots are of a much larger passenger jet with multiple small windows and massive headroom. moreQuotes:
[a hotel employee hands Nick Schaffer his bill]Nick Schaffer: What's this $110?
Hotel Clerk: Those are your in-room movies.
Nick Schaffer: No, I didn't watch any movies.
Hotel Clerk: Okay, let's see... Afro Whores.
Nick Schaffer: Afro Whores?
Hotel Clerk: You watched it... let's see... uh, 11 times.
Nick Schaffer: No, no, no...
Hotel Clerk: Afro Whores, 2:30. Afro Whores, 4 o'clock. Afro Whores, 5:30. It says in the morning you watched The Grinch for ten minutes and then switched back over to Afro Whores.
Nick Schaffer: I swear I didn't watch it. Okay? I was at a bachelor party. There were 35 people there. You can ask any of them. You have to take that off my record.

From start to finish, it's all laughs. The movie is meant to be wacky and to be really taken seriously. I especially love the part when Jon Lovitz looks like Hitler. It's one of the best popcorn comedies of 2001. Just sit back and have fun. B+, 8/10
