Trivia

• As part of the promotion for the movie at the Comicon in San Diego, promoters threw a huge “Welcome” party open to the public, with barbecue, beer, skateboarding demos, and a wall where people could write “subjects” they’d like to study. Justin Long and other cast members mixed in with the crowd, to the point that you couldn’t pick them out.
• The character of Ben Lewis was specifically written for Lewis Black.
• Even though he plays a recent high school graduate, Justin Long was 27 when this movie was filmed.
• Bollywood has a remake of this movie called F.A.L.T.U
