Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFrank's streaking scene was shot on a city street. As Will Ferrell remembered it, one of the storefronts was a twenty-four-hour gym with Stairmasters and treadmills in the window. "I was rehearsing in a robe, and all these people are in the gym, watching me. I asked one of the production assistants, 'Shouldn't we tell them I'm going to be naked?' Sure enough, I dropped my robe and there were shrieks of pure horror. After the first take, nobody was at the window anymore. I took that as a sign of approval."
- GoofsIn order for their total score to drop from an 84 average to a 58 average with Blue's 0 scores, there could only have been 2 members (3 if you include Blue). In fact, with 15 members, their score could only drop to a 79.6%.
- Quotes
Mitch Martin: True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend...
- Crazy creditsDuring most of the end credits, there are scenes showing what happened to the main characters.
- Alternate versionsThe Unrated DVD contains about a minute of new footage. It includes more of Frank streaking and more with Andy Dick's character, with references to animal sex and ejaculation.

Featured review
Great Old School Comedy
A comedy from a time when comedy was funny.
At the beginning, we follow Mitch, whose relationship with his unfaithful girlfriend falls apart and who rents a house that falls on a college campus.
Together with their friends, they open a fraternity where the doors are open to everyone, students and non-students alike. Dean Pritchard does not like this and tries to destroy them in every way.
The cast is great, just right for a comedy, this movie is a true example of what a comedy should look like. This is real comedy, without limits, it provides us with good entertainment and does not hold back from anything.
A film like this could not be made today, comedy is almost dead today.
The film is full of funny moments and uncompromising entertainment and of course, this is not one of those watered down PG-13 movies. This is a real R-rated comedy.
Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell and Jeremy Piven guarantee good fun. Todd Phillips is a good director who knows how to direct a movie and doesn't burden us with unimportant things but gives us good entertainment.
Today it is difficult, almost impossible to make a good comedy because directors have to comply with today's "standards" in the so-called entertainment industry.
Comedy is simply not funny anymore, and this is especially evident when you watch a film like this, which was made twenty years ago and is better than most films made today.
The cast did a great job, as did the director and writers.
This is a film that is definitely worth watching, and it can be watched more than once and it gets better every time.
