Picking Nits
Impossible Los Angeles geography and celebrity behavior
Franco’s supposed hill house cannot plausibly sit three blocks from Melrose and appears to combine several neighborhoods. Six men being frightened away by Emma Watson with an axe is questioned, then defended because the characters are helpless actors. Seth Rogen personally meeting Jay at the airport is considered implausible at his 2013 fame level. Sending a driver is proposed as the plausible alternative. Michael Cera and Mindy Kaling are considered an implausible sexual pairing, though that mismatch is defended as the joke. Waiting at the airport gate after 9/11 is identified as a separate implausibility.
