- Why Jules likes Seth is the most movie-magic part: he gets spit on, fears being Steven Glansberg and melts down in class; only Allie falling for Daniel-san is less plausible, and no other guys pursue her at her own party.
- The rundown of her boyfriends, including Matt Muir who looks like Zach Morris with a six-pack since eighth grade, is loved.
- The geography is confusing, suburban yet on an obvious L.A. bus; the Valley is assumed, though per Rogen the party was filmed half a block from where Nicole Brown Simpson was murdered in Brentwood.
- Emma Stone should not have been hurt; the headbutt and black eye was a weird choice, she forgave too easily, and it may exist to set up the mall apology.
- No one has an older sibling to buy alcohol and there is only one parent.
- What happened in the 20 minutes after they burned the cop car goes unexplained.
- They did not get enough alcohol for everyone to be so stoked when they arrived. — Craig Horlbeck
- Follow-up on the same nit: he shows up with two gas cans of green beer that nobody would cheer; you would need to pull in a keg to get that reaction.
