Trivialidades:

At the end of the outtake real on the DVD, Paul Rudd tells Elizabeth Banks that she 'tastes like a burger'. He says 'You taste like a burger' to her in Wet Hot American Summer (2001), also directed by David Wain. She then tells him, 'I don't like you anymore', another line said by Rudd's character to Banks's character.

Errores:

Continuidad: When playing Professional Evolution Soccer on the Xbox at the party, a goal is scored as if it was just happening, but when it cuts to the screen, it is clearly the replay and the goal was already scored.

Citas:

Gayle Sweeny: You know what I used to have for breakfast? Cocaine. Know what I had for lunch? Cocaine.
Wheeler: What did you have for dinner?
Danny: Was it cocaine?

Brilliant comedy

Was way better than I thought it was going to be. I usual expect most American comedies to have the usual plot line and this one sounded no different. Some good work from the dependable Paul Rudd, Sean Willam Scott and especially (McLovin) Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Bobb'e J. Thompson who make it into a pretty decent comedy. After going off the rails in a boring job, the two adults are given the chance to avoid jail by mentoring some difficult kids in the community. The results and ending are rarely ever in doubt so there is not much in the way of spontaneous laughter, but in general its not quite as bad a film as some might make out, certainly worth a watch, just not a list topper.
