- GoofsGamble owns a red Prius. At one point, the right rear door is replaced by a gray door (due to events happening in the movie). Later, when the car is on a train, the door reverts to red. However, two scenes later, the car door is gray again.

Featured review
I couldn't stop laughing
I don't normally write reviews but after reading some of the awful reviews some people wrote about this film I had to come to its defence.
This film had me laughing from start to finish. If you like the silliness of Will Ferrell films or the humour in Ted then you will love this film. The comedy can be played very deadpan despite the surrealness (is that a word) of the situation. The comic timing is great and the chemistry between all the main characters is excellent. When I saw this film only had a 6.7 IMDb rating I was a little reluctant to watch it but I saw the trailer and that drew me in. I didn't regret it.
If you want some great laughs, watch this film.
