- Why Coughlin worked at TGI Fridays: he was hiding, just out of jail, or pushed out of a bar venture; the last is favored.
- Coughlin sleeping with Coral and having her make out with him to win a $50 bet is monstrous; the two keep chasing each other's partners.
- After about three years in Jamaica, Flanagan should have had about $70,000; a reply says Jamaica was seductive but not the money machine he expected.
- Cruise appears to wear heavy makeup in Jamaica, perhaps covering a sunburn, with a Couples Retreat comparison.
- Why Jordan worked in a deli when she was only cut off later, and why her apartment is so nice, go unanswered.
- The father's $10,000 buyout is too low; $75,000, the bar money, would have been the right number and a better ending.
- Flanagan is called a scumbag in answer to whether he would take $25,000. — Bill Simmons
- The number one nitpick is Coughlin, barely conscious, leaving a lucid, thoughtful suicide note within about an hour.
- Answers include that it is a bad movie with chopped-up New York scenes, that Coughlin might have been murdered, and that he had pre-written the note after already deciding.
