    • Goofs
      In the scene where the guys are getting Carl to fill out the Physics test, they pass him a joint, but it the next shot Sam is holding it and in the shot after Carl is passing it back to Sam.
    • Quotes

      Freakin' Hobo: I'm not gonna eat that shit, you fuckin' retard.

      Ethan: No one calls me a retard, ya FREAKIN' HOBO!

    • Crazy credits
      Outtake footage featuring Jason Schwartzman and Cameron Diaz is shown after the end credits. She looks at the camera and says, "I've never done a porno before". He responds, "Until now, bitch!".

    Whats wrong with you people?!

    Worst movie of the year? Ok...the name is SLACKERS! Not Schindlers List Part 2. Why do you people try to pull so much meaning out of these stoner flicks? What are you thinking when you rent these movies? That you'll find a diamond in the rough? A Spielbergian classic?!? I like stupid humor. Sue me. I can laugh dumb nonsense. I've shown this to a ton of people and they all found humor in it. Cool Ethan is quite possibly the craziest character ever written and what his face from Rushmore pulls it off perfectly. Plus whats his face from that Stan video is PIMP in this movie. Seriously...take notes from STAN, eminems greatest fan.

    My advice to you critics that downplay a stupid script in the first place is to stop watching comedy's. Stop now while you're ahead. Thank you and good day.
