Did you know
• Ben Stiller's cameo was shot in two days in California because he was unable to fly to New York for filming, due to a scheduling conflict.
• Dr. P's rules "From the Bar to your Bed" are: * Be dangerous, it's cool * No compliments, *ever* * Always get the girl alone * Wherever you are, the place is lame! * Relate to her * Lie, lie, and lie some more
• Director Todd Phillips first offered the lead role to Howard Stern (Phillips is a big Stern fan), but Stern had to turn it down because he was about to leave terrestrial radio for satellite radio and did not have the time to film a movie. The role eventually went to Billy Bob Thornton.

User reviews
A barely passable comedy lacking in originality
Remake of a fine movie
Scoundrel is synonymous with Thornton, Heder is unusual choice for a leading man
