First, his soon-to-be floor manager acquires a serious injury in a machine malfunctioning accident that subsequently endangers the wellbeing of his company. Second, his personal life doesn't fair much better when he takes the advice of his bartending friend Dean during a drug-induced brainstorming session on how to test his wife's faithfulness. Finally, compounding these catastrophes is new employee Cindy, who happens to be a scam artist intent on milking the company for all its worth. Now, Joel must attempt to piece his company and his marriage back together all while trying to figure out what he's really after in life. |

Goofs
|
Continuity: In the cemetery scene, Suzie's hair changes position several times as shots change, between pulled back over her shoulder to hanging down in front. BOOM: Boom microphones clearly visible in several early house interior scenes. Revealing mistakes: In close up shots of Joel's car, the windows aren't tinted, but for a far away shot, they have dark black tint. Continuity: In a scene involving Jason Bateman and Ben Affleck at a table drinking beer, there is a glass of water near Ben's beer bottle that disappears during the scene. Continuity: The collar of the gigolo's sweatshirt changes within the same scene when he is talking to Jason Bateman and Ben Affleck about being hired. Continuity: When Joel (Jason Bateman) comes home from being punched at the bong session, he has a monster of a black eye. When he leaves the house the next morning, the shiner has completely vanished. (It reappears briefly, but in milder form, by the time he arrives at work.) Continuity: While Joel and Dean are drinking beers together at a table, the facing of the beer in front of Dean keeps changing between shots. Miscellaneous: On the promotion poster Joels' LEFT eye is black. In the movie it's his RIGHT eye that gets smashed. Fact errors: Early in the movie, when Cindy is sorting through her various forms of ID, an Ohio drivers license is shown. The issue date is April of 2001, with an expiration in April of 2010. An Ohio license must be renewed every four years. |
Quotes

Suzie: Who'd you want to have an affair with, anyway? Joel: Just some criminal drifter. Dean: [as Brad walks out of the bar] There he goes... Johnny Horsecock. Joel: What is it with women? Y'know, they say they don't care about looks - they just want a guy who's smart and funny - but they always just end up laughing at whatever the good-looking stupid guy says. Joel: If I don't get home before 8, she puts on the sweatpants. Joel: And once the sweatpants are on, I get nothing. Dean: [Looking at Cindy through the office window] Damn! She work here? Joel: Yes, she's a temp. Dean: She's a tramp? Joel: "Temp!" Joe Adler: I should fire all 3 of you. Cuz you laughed at me when I bought those bus stop bench ads. But this Step guy, he's the Holy Grail. See if both his balls had been knocked clean off, it'd be a good case, but not a great case. and with no balls, he's no man at all. The jury will never feel they can walk in the shoes of a ball-less neutered He-She freak. But Step! He's got one ball! Barely. But to a jury, he's still a man. And that man is hanging on by a thread. I'M TELLING YOU, THIS MAN IS A FUCKING POWERBALL. THIS GUY IS A... Oh hello. I'm Joe Adler. Brad: Hey you weren't supposed to be here for another 4 hours... What happened to your face? Joel: same thing...! Your face is going to look like my face if I ever... ! Actually, your face is going to look worse than mine if... Joel: What if I tell her you did it all for money? How about that Ding-Ding? |
