Most Rewatchable Scene

The post-police Pursuit of Happiness montage

The post-police Pursuit of Happiness montage

In the discussion (10)
Approx. transcript time · 00:17:35Read transcript
  • The awkward school invitations and liquor-store meeting are favorites. — Bill Simmons
  • Whether the cameo is an actor playing himself or a baseball-bound senior is disputed; the earlier Footloose remake is raised without resolving it. — Bill Simmons
  • The drug visit and unseen crude behavior with the supposed Santa figure are enjoyed. The scene is called an unapologetic Superbad ripoff, but another response explicitly rejects that comparison. — Bill Simmons
  • The dog in the bouncy castle and lifted by balloons are favorite comic images; its disappearing into the sky is joked about. — Bill Simmons
  • The complaining neighbor, punch and taser, young security guards and absurd pool rule are praised. — Bill Simmons
  • Hiding a large drunk crowd from police is implausible to some, while the word cops could induce silence; the restart makes it worthwhile.
  • The roof triumph and two jumps are enjoyed; the limited finger injury confirms the fantasy tone. — Bill Simmons
  • The flamethrower return takes the party up a level; the police deciding to let it burn out is loved.
  • The triumphant return to school recalls Hoosiers, The Natural and Any Given Sunday; more hallway celebration before the romance is desired. — Bill Simmons
  • The Pursuit of Happiness montage is selected, with explicit agreement: a perfect party peak before the destruction. — David Jacoby

  • Pursuit of Happiness is the obvious selection; renaming the award is proposed. The trailer and high-school music era strengthen the connection.
  • White Trash Party earns a separate shout-out for its shock-value fit; music and editing are praised. — David Jacoby
  • Pursuit of Happiness beats Heads Will Roll, a strong runner-up; the post-police restart and drug montage are distinct peaks. — Bill Simmons
  • The rename to Pursuit of Happiness is revisited and supported after the recommendation to watch the montage. — Craig Horlbeck

  • The police deciding to let the party burn out is an early favorite.
  • The pool-water-in-semen line is the main choice with agreement; the radio and diabetes insults also amuse. — Bill Simmons
  • The response that getting intoxicated is the point is another favorite. — David Jacoby
  • The stepmother-on-Craigslist throwaway line is a separate belated best-quote pick. — Bill Simmons

  • The cameo actor’s later fame is a bonus; the wheelchair character joke is funny but lacks a payoff, with a cut scene only hypothesized. — Bill Simmons
  • Milo is one of the great movie dogs, scored nine-and-a-half against Baxter’s ten; the final dog behavior is debated. — Bill Simmons
  • The drug-filled figure reveal and slow-motion destruction work; Santa is corrected to a garden gnome with two middle fingers. — David Jacoby
  • The erection joke succeeds, compared with Anchorman; adolescent unpredictability is recalled.
  • The young guards’ ninja line, radio reveal, unpaid ending and the vibrator discovery are enjoyed. — Bill Simmons
  • The oven surprise and ball punches are enjoyed; a claim that actors were really struck is speculation, not production fact. — Bill Simmons
  • The closing television cameo and soundtrack are praised; Heads Will Roll remix is called a classic, and the soundtrack a contender for best of the last decade.
  • The coming-of-age emotional core, true love and nerds seeking popularity endure; Revenge of the Nerds is another party example.
  • The intoxicated faces are convincing, with actual drug use only speculation; the ending freeze-frame updates are loved. — Craig Horlbeck
  • The title becoming shorthand for a huge party is ultimately treated as aged best rather than worst. — Bill Simmons
  • Casting unknown people helps the viewer feel immersed in a real party. — Bill Simmons

Disclaimers, dated or inappropriate material, nonconsensual filming and limited theatrical access.

In the discussion (5)

  • The two disclaimers confuse warning with bragging, unlike other movies; inappropriate language is flagged. — Bill Simmons
  • The magazine reference is dated; claims about current publishing and nudity are unverified. — Bill Simmons
  • The cameraman filming intimate encounters without consent is criticized; illegality is a speaker claim, not legal verification.
  • Following release, large-scale parties reportedly referenced the film. Project X meaning huge party is judged aged best rather than worst. — Bill Simmons

  • Most cast qualify except the later star; the actress in the three Pitch Perfect films may peak there. North Pasadena as a movie location is supported. — Bill Simmons
  • Party scenes are called unparalleled, with Animal House, the original House Party, Superbad and Neighbors as comparisons.
  • Ecstasy as a positive plot device is considered a peak, with lack of aftermath criticized; Almost Famous is the go-to roof jump, this at least final four. — Bill Simmons
  • The zipline’s origin is uncertain; bouncy castles and tequila revolvers are strong candidates, though the latter plays differently after COVID. — Bill Simmons
  • Jonah Hill imitation and sweater vests are further peak candidates. — Bill Simmons

  • The zipline setup seems too complicated to appear without explanation. — Bill Simmons
  • The friends should get more intoxicated earlier; vomiting and a shower/hair refresh offer some explanation.
  • The many attractive, skilled teenage drinkers seem implausible; drinking ability and whole-school attendance are defenses. — Bill Simmons
  • The love interest lacks personality and forgives too quickly; the old photograph only briefly establishes friendship.
  • A security guard’s black eye reportedly changes sides; drunken continuity supervision is a joke. — Bill Simmons
  • Could1500drunk people stay quiet, and how do they not run out of liquor? People bringing their own bottles and Molly becoming the priority are explanations.
  • The ending time is guessed around four or five; live local-news coverage then is doubted. — Bill Simmons
