- TriviaAnna Faris chose to appear nude in one scene instead of using a body double. The reactions from the other actresses are genuine when she walks out nude. "It was my first nude scene and it wasn't supposed to be me," she explained in an interview. "I had a body double and we had some complicating factors with her. It was sort of a last-minute thing, where I said, 'I'll just go ahead and do this.'" She also said she felt like it's what her character Shelley would do, so she should do it too. She even turned her head during the shot so people would see it was her and not a double. Faris said that she broke her "no nudity" clause to do it but, she thought the whole thing was uncomfortable. "This crew that I'd been working with, that knows me when I put on my producer hat, suddenly sees me naked. It was really humiliating. I definitely think I lost some street cred as a producer with the whole crew, being naked in front of them. You have to wear little pasties. You can't wear a full bra and it's not even like covering up. It was a little embarrassing but I'm used to that now. Keenan (Wayans) told me early on that, "There's no vanity in comedy. You can't be vain and funny at the same time". So I've really tried to embrace that idea, that you just have to be fearless."
- Goofs(at around 3 mins) When Shelly is getting her hair done before her party it is clear that the person actually doing her hair is using some form of straighteners/curlers but isn't touching her hair.

Featured review
It's impressive how talented Anna Faris is, she manages to turn a tremendously idiotic movie like this one into something watchable. And this is very clear when she shares the screen with another great actress, who is Emma Stone in a role that is also comedic, and yet she steals the show.
The film itself is a feel good movie, it has some aspects that I thought were really cool, such as the appreciation of friendship and taking away taboo and prejudice with sex, in addition to having some funny moments, always in Anna's hands. On the other hand, the rest is silly beyond measure, even having grotesque and embarrassing moments, like some starring the character Carrie Mae, extremely forced. Not to mention Anna's final speech, which is ridiculously corny and unnecessary.
I rate it 5 out of 10 for Anna's talent and the heart warming spirit.
