Thank goodness someone other than me doesn't like that answering machine thing. That's one of the only parts of the movie I didn't like.

Easily the part with the gun and the "Boyz n the Hood" crack. That kills me every single time.

Especially when Trent says "You grew up in Anaheim" and Sue says "Same difference".

Having grown up in So Cal, right next to Anaheim (Home of Disneyland) made it even funnier the first time I heard it.

I agree that it was painful to watch, but it made a great trailer.

I would agree, the entire NHL '96 videogame scene, and when the delivery guys comes and Trent and Sue shout stuff at him. And of course when Trent makes Gretzky's head bleed.

When Trent says "Like House of Pain was going to do anything." Love that one and when he say "be the guy in the R-Rated movie"

"Have him take off his shoes!" 😁 Yeah, that was funny yet would suck if you were the one at the door.

Ironically, he'd grown so fat only work-out pants would fit him.

The end is, in my opinion, one of the finest movie endings ever. It perfectly shows how the Swingers way of life isn't all Trent makes it out to be, and how Mike has moved past Trent's juvenile attitude towards love and women, even if it's not with the woman he has been whining about since the opening credits. This in itself transforms Mike into a mature adult who has mature relationships. It's just a perfect ending.

The next to last scene when Mike crosses off the days to call Lorraine (having learned from Trent the "right" way to do such things, then hangs up on his ex while she is saying "I love Y...". Such a perfect ending.

The parking lot face off, hands down. "Roll up, bitch!" is the single greatest line in the history of cinema.

Also the guys yelling "VEGAAAASSSS!" and getting all amped up for the trip; then they cut to them looking burned out from the drive, "......Vegas, baby." Being from SoCal that is such an accurate portayal of what's it's like heading to Vegas at night.

A tiny net is a death sentence. It's a net and its tiny!

When Trent is drunkenly running his mouth in the diner and Mike kicks him beneath the table and Trent says, "Okay I'll ask her! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?" to the waitress. And then Trent giving his food to the guy in the booth behind him, "I would never eat here".

When it ended.

So many great moments.

The first hook-up after the casino where Mike disturbs Trent and the female to use the phone. Then afterwards the women are comforting Mike whilst Trent tries to keep his calm!

The walk recreating Reservoir Dogs!

The end scene is classic.

No matter.

Fail better.
