Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBefore Lance (Jack Black) jumps into the pool to save Shaun (Colin Hanks), he takes off his socks. This was not in the script, but was an idea of Jack Black's wardrobe assistant. Black found the idea hilarious, and the gag remained in the film.
- GoofsAlthough the film is supposed to take place in Orange County, none of it was shot there. All locations are in Los Angeles County.

I was surprised and impressed with Colin Hanks, and Schuyler Fisk who I had not seen in anything. Both of whom played characters that actually had some depth. They actually wanted to go to college not just get laid or marry someone rich.
I found the movie light and funny, full of great cameos
If you are expecting to see a lot of Jack Black you may be disappointed. He only has a supporting role. But hilariously funny as usual.
I also wish that they had kept Colin's hair off of his face, like in some of the beach scenes. The whole bangs thing just, just . I just didn't like it.
Worth the rental fee for the cameos, Jack Black, some off color jokes and some of the lines the supporting actors have.
DVD has some great deleted scenes and explains why some of the ads showed things that were not in the movie.
