Continuity mistake: After the cake is destroyed Jenny is attempting to fix it. As she and Brad are talking, the camera switches angles viewing Jenny from the front and side. In the shot facing her, her hands are covered in cake icing, but in the side view there is little to no cake icing. It is continuous throughout the scene. (01:06:25)

Character mistake: If you ever called a Marine Sergeant Major "Sarge", he would probably kill you. It just wouldn't happen. That's an Army thing. Also, Marines say "ooh-rah", not "hoo-ah". That's also an Army thing.
Uncle Wayne: So here's a couple of tips. When you first meet a girl you give her two compliments above the neck. Yeah, tell her she's got nice lips, nice eyes, nice hair... She's intelligent, her moral ethics, whatever crap comes to your mind. Then just when she begins to thinks that you're another - you know - vanilla nice guy that she can tool around with all night without getting naked...you *insult* her! Flip the power dynamic and your let her know that you're here to play.
Trivia: Christa B. Allen, who plays the teenaged Jenny, had previously portrayed another younger version of a Jennifer Garner character in 13 Going On 30.
