Plot hole: Lamar was a star basketball player who didn't pay attention in Jim's English Literature class (and wasn't "good in English") but needed to pass to continue playing. Lamar told Jim, "I've had four courses with you" and "I'm a Junior." Whether this was Lamar's 4th or 5th English course, neither make sense. A fourth course would equal 12 credits - enough to be Lamar's' declared major (unlikely) - and most students don't enroll in the same professor's courses when they don't do well ("easy A").

Directed by: Rupert Wyatt
Starring: John Goodman, Mark Wahlberg, Jessica Lange, George Kennedy, Brie Larson, Griffin Cleveland
Continuity mistake: Amy set Jim's book perpendicular and very close to the desk's front edge and the pen was diagonal on the book's cover but not close to the desk's edge. When the book came back into view, the pen had been straightened and moved closer to the desk's front edge. (00:36:30)
Jim Bennett: You're born as a man with the nerves of a soldier, the apprehension of an angel.
