Goofs:

Continuity: When Jimmy is handcuffed to the stall in the public bathroom at the arena and he asks the boy for help and the boy yells, "Stranger Danger!" He runs away and knocks the trashcan over. You can see the trash can fall and the toilet paper fall out and roll directly towards Jimmy. When that happens you can clearly see there is nothing on the toilet paper when it rolls out. Then when the camera goes back after Jimmy's reaction, the toilet paper is covered with trash and at the very end, the key, which wasn't there when it initially rolled out.

Will Ferrell does not Disappoint!!

This movie is a must see. If you enjoy Ferrell you will love this film. It is just a feel good laugh out loud comedy. There is not a bad performance in the movie. I didn't care for the Hector (Nick Swardson) story line. It was mildly funny in a sort of creepy/annoying way. That is the only blemish on this hilarious movie though. Ferrell and Heder play very well off each other. I am glad to see Heder play something a little different then Dynamite. Yes he sounds very similar but thats his voice. Poehler and Arnett make a great pair that you love to hate. Its great to see Craig T. Nelson doing what he does best, playing a coach. The end of this film rides the line of being either so stupid or comic genius, For my money its GENIUS!!

This film is a must see. Especially if you are a Ferrell fan. It is great. Full of new lines destined to become classics quoted by the teens of America.
