Trivia:

Goofs:
Factual errors: In the Wine Mixer scene when Dale is first playing drum rolls, it sounds like he is playing them with drum sticks, but it is showed he is playing them with yarn mallets. In real life performing a drum roll with mallets would not sound the same as performing it with drum sticks, and would be a lot more difficult. more

Excellent Movie.. It was Hilarious, 16 November 2008
10/10
Author: Minhal Hussain from United States

Wow, That was among the Top 5 Movies of 2008 for sure, It was an excellent and a hilarious movie, after some of the scenes in the movie I was even laughing 5 minutes after they had ended. Many movies have those scenes that don't really need to be there, this movie had none of them, everything seemed to be in the right place and happening at the right time. The plot, the acting, everything seemed to be in place and perfect, especially the plot. The way the story progressed and changed was in my opinion - excellent. An extremely good movie especially for anyone who loves comedy movies (like me) and certainly worth the watch even for those that don't.
