    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Mariah Carey was scheduled to film a cameo but her scenes were never filmed. Will Ferrell recalled that she showed up four hours late, then didn't want to do the scene she had agreed to do. She then delayed production by not wanting to sing the song (one of her own) that she was supposed to sing. This would have required the legal department to clear the song. Carey also required her trailer to be filled with white flowers and stuffed lambs. Carey's scene was ultimately not filmed.
    • Goofs
      When Scott has trouble recalling the combination to the safe, Kate encourages him by saying that he can remember 4 sequential numbers. When Scott does remember the combination it is 8 numbers plus #. Then the combination punched in to open the safe beeps 7 times, which means only 6 numbers were entered with the # sign.
    • Quotes

      Joe: [Gestures to the feminine sunglasses Scott is wearing] Are those women's sunglasses?

      Scott Johansen: No, they're Italian.

      Joe: [Gesturing to the thin long cigarette Scott is smoking] Well that's a woman's cigarette - that's nice.

      Scott Johansen: No - also Italian. Italian sunglasses, Italian cigarettes.

      Joe: Okay. Ciao!

    • Crazy credits
      After the last scene and before the credits start rolling, there is a series of blooper scenes from different cast members.

    Glad I didn't listen to the star rating!
    I wanted to see this movie when it originally came out and put it to the side and saw the terrible review rating and didn't watch for over a year. I just watched it and it def wasn't terrible and I had quite a few laughs and would call it good movie. Not great, not mediocre but pretty good!
