Trivia
Real life brothers Jerry O'Connell and Charlie O'Connell improvised much of their scenes at the party, including the climbing on the swings (which they were not intended to do).

Goofs
When Dizzy goes to the mall to see his girlfriend in the bikini, the extras in the background are standing still for a second before continuing to walk.

Quotes
Luther: High school is a lot like prison: Bad food, high fences; the sex you want, you ain't gettin', the sex you gettin', you don't want. I've seen terrible things.
Dizzy: Yesterday, an eighty-year-old librarian broke my penis.
Luther: You win.

Crazy credits
During the credits, there are bloopers. After that, Dizzy and Danielle ride on into the sunset and Danielle falls off the horse.

as good as these movies can be

just when you think they are going to go overboard with the dork vs jocks and dissing his old dork friends conflicts, they don't, thank you. Plus, more often than not, the main villan does not even take that big of a role and his friends and girlfriend make him look like the idiot that he is. Because of these reasons,this movie is totally enjoyable and easy to watch.
