Trivia
Feature film debut of Chris Evans.

Goofs
Varying from scene to scene that includes the character of Malik, between theatrical and deleted footage, his hair changes inconsistently in length and style.

This is clearly intentional - he switches through just about every stereotypically "black" hairstyle. It's consistent with his status as the parody of the "token" black character.

Quotes
Jake: Malik, can you hold my books for me?
Malik: Sure, why not? I am the token black guy. I'm just supposed to smile and stay out of the conversation and say things like; "Damn," "Shit," and "That is whack."

Crazy credits
On some DVD/Blu-Ray editions, but not all, there are two bonus scenes at the end: Mr. Briggs, in a parody of a scene from "American Pie", talks about a "three-way" while holding two pies. The albino folk singer sings about being blinded from her corneas being burned out by the sun. (This scene comes after all the credits have finished, thus beginning a long tradition of Chris Evans' movies having post-credit coda scenes.)

Alternate versions
The US TV version blurs Aeora's nudity.

Certainly not a bad film

The IMDb ranking for this film is quite harsh in my opinion. OK, this film was never going to win an Oscar, but it's enjoyable throughout and has some very good laughs in it. I'm not a big fan of teen movies but I saw this and was impressed. It's light-hearted and not afraid to appear ridiculous (infact most of the time it does this deliberately) and it doesn't pretend to be "Just another teen movie", indeed it IS "Not another teen movie", it's a very enjoyable laugh at the expense of those films.

Don't expect your life to be changed by this film, but if you want simply a fun film to watch then you won't go far wrong seeing this one.
