    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Dedicated to Edward Norton's late mother Robin Norton, "Who had faith in everyone".
    • Goofs
      Brian describes 13-year-old Anna as "a cross between Jonny Quest (1964) and Tatum O'Neal in Foxes (1980)". Tatum O'Neal wasn't in Foxes. He's either referring to Jodie Foster in Foxes, or Tatum O'Neal in Little Darlings (1980). Then again, he was drunk.
    • Quotes
      • Indian Bartender: May those who love us, love us. And those who don't love us - may God turn their hearts. And if He cannot turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, so that we may know them by their limping.
    • Crazy credits
      Thank-yous include one to "Salmita Bonita", a reference to actor-director Edward Norton's girlfriend, actress Salma Hayek.
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD release features quite a few edited scenes, including:
      • Brian takes Anna to the club while it's still under construction
      • Brian tries to come into the bar with a bottle of liquor in his hand. The bartender tells him 'No Bottles', so he promptly drinks the remainder
      • Brian and Jakob walk through an art museum with Anna (featuring the scene from the Gag Reel where Anna can't say the name of the picture she's standing in front of); eventually, her cel phone rings, she has a yelling match with a co-worker, and falls in the fountain (also seen in the Gag Reel)
      • A bit with young Jakob and Brian making a kung-fu movie with a home video camera
      • Anna talking to Ruth about Jakob and Jake's brother (establishing exactly why Ruth never forgave him)
      • A piece from Jakob's date, where the woman talks about running and breast implants before having a sneezing fit and smashing her face on the table
      • Jakob tells Anna to put her pager under her skirt while she's at work, and he'll call her; two co-workers come in just as Jake starts calling, trying to get her to help them work out the numbers as she 'gets buzzed'
