Abfolgefehler: When Ted first arrives at Mary's house for prom, Warren is seen in the background with the Rubik's cube. He has just finished solving it, and holds it up slightly. In the next shot of Warren, he is again finishing solving the Cube and again holds it up.

Funny, but surprisingly sweet too.

The shock comedy aside (zipper and hair gel scenes), purposeful unpolitically correct moments (humor at expense of handicapped, animal cruelty), the most surprising thing about this film is it has heart and is rather sweet. It's not the completely nasty, cruel comedy you might have been expecting. There's a nice love story in here too. It's corny and cliche'd and doesn't feel overly cloying because there are enough shockingly funny moments to offset it. The acting is good, the pacing brisk, and the jokes, well... you've heard all about the best ones by now.
