Errors in geography: When Christina and Courtney are in the Car on their way to the wedding, they look at their map and mention taking Interstate 95 and 40. Those interstates are located in the east coast. Interstates near San Francisco are 101, 880, 80 and 280.

Quotes:

Christina: I wasn't suggesting that the two of you get married, I just thought maybe you could get it on!

Hilarious!

This movie was a welcome treat. My friends and I had been feeling depressed for the past few weeks, so we thought we'd check this movie out and try to lift our worries off of our shoulders for an hour and a half. I loved this movie! It was so funny, Diaz and Applegate had great comedic chemistry. I haven't laughed so hard in ages! I enjoyed this movie more than I have any other film in quite some time. This one was definately worth the $8.00 !!! I hope to see it again. I recommend that you see this one if you are wanting to laugh and get over the blues!
