- Jenna hitting on a 13-year-old boy is called really uncomfortable, while the other participant thought the punchline was great and fine as a joke.
- It would be worse with genders swapped; she looks sexiest in that scene, and Lucy would have had her committed after it.
- Seven minutes in heaven is called gone, with pushback that it may be consensual and better than drugs; Matt's seven-minutes joke was ahead of its time.
- There is no email or internet in a 2004 movie.
- The hockey stuff insults hockey players; the hosts say the 2004 Rangers went 27-40, and real hockey players are stoic, unlike Alex Carlson; the goofy striptease is the worst scene, which is agreed.
- Jenna's apartment has cheap-looking kitchen cabinets and furniture.
- She isn't curious enough about 2004, missing an easy Michael Jackson cover joke, unlike Elf.
- The scene where the husband of Tracy from the art department comes in, with a line about the drawers last week, felt like it was from a different movie; it was meant to show she was an awful person but didn't work.
- Ruffalo's character talks about the plastic-surgery movement as if it were over.
