Plot Synopsis:
-------------------

Graduating high school senior Bartleby "B" Gaines (Justin Long) finds himself without a college to attend. He has been able to talk and con his way out of every problem he encounters, but he hasn't been able to charm his way pass the college admissions board of eight colleges. His mom and dad are very disappointed that Bartleby hasn't been accepted into college. His parents think that if Bartleby doesn't go to college, he will have no future. Several of Bartleby's friends are in the same situation of being rejected by all the colleges they applied to. To satisfy their parents, Bartleby comes up with an idea to start his own college with an internet site. They convert an abandoned psychiatric facility into the South Harmon Institute of Technology. They will be the only students. However, the web site states that we accept anyone. On the first day of school, they unexpectedly have a large number of accepted students that were also rejected by all colleges. With a million dollars in tuition money, Bartleby must make his fake college into a functioning one. He hires Uncle Ben (Lewis Black) as the College Dean. The fun begins when they design their own curriculum, make their own rules, and party all night.The fun will eventually end when the South Hamon jocks will ruin all the work that B and his friends have accomplished, Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)

A lot of the movie was improvised, and a lot of the gags were pitched by the actors on the day of shooting.
------------------------

The red fruits that Glen screamed, "What are you!" at are rambutans, a kind of tropical fruit.
------------------------

Lewis Black's character says the word "fuck" twice, but one was literally bleeped out in order to make the movie PG-13.

There are 39 shots of Apple Computers in the movie. The star, Justin Long, became a spokesman for Apple Computers (the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials) just prior to the release of this movie.

Adam Herschman's actual parents were on hand during the "Parent's Day Scene," and were placed in the film as Glen's parents.
------------------------

As part of the promotion for the movie at the Comicon in San Diego, promoters threw a huge "Welcome" party open to the public, with barbecue, beer, skateboarding demos, and a wall where people could write "subjects" they'd like to study. Justin Long and other cast members mixed in with the crowd, to the point that you couldn't pick them out.
------------------------

Since the school/college's name is "South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.), the "S-word" is the most frequently used word, being used 62 times throughout the entire movie.

During the hot dog costume scene, Schrader mentions how James Garfield even wore the suit, though not a member of the fictional BKE fraternity in the movie James Garfield was in fact a member of the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity.

------------------------

Although the final scene of the movie occurs in front of the Ohio State Board of Education, in the State of Ohio, the proper venue would in fact be the Board of Regents. The Ohio State Board of Education regulates primary and secondary in the state.
------------------------

In the first scene at the building that would become South Harmon, when Schrader jumps aside and shrieks, you can hear the scream before his mouth begins moving.
------------------------

The letter from the Board of Education says the accreditation meeting is at 11am. The characters mention the meeting at 11am. However, when the main characters show up for the meeting, Shrader tells the person greeting them that they have a 3 o'clock meeting.

When Schrader is mopping, a piece of equipment behind the water and the paint bucket disappears and also a lid appears out of nowhere beside the ladder.

When Monica takes picture of the whole class you can see a flash, 'though her camera doesn't have flash.
------------------------

When Monica first visits South Harmon, she comments how difficult it was to find the building, with Batleby responding "We're a pretty well kept secret." Yet, at least 300 college rejects seem to of found the location after being "accepted" fairly easily earlier in the film. And Ambrose finds it just as easily when looking for the building's leaseholder.
------------------------

When B. is giving the speech at the end to the Board of Directors, at the end of the speech he throws the chair that is in front of him onto the ground. In the next scene you can see the chair still in front of him, then you see someone picking it up off the ground.
------------------------

The board that all the student write the courses on throughout the movie is different from the board brought into the meeting with the state board of accreditor. The board is smaller and some of the courses that were written on the other board are not there.
------------------------

When Monica is going to ask B to mow her lawn, her hair goes from in front of her shoulder to behind in between shots.
------------------------

When Bartleby is about to kiss Monica in his room, he leans his head to the right. The camera then changes angles, and both Monica and him are kissing with their heads tilted to the left.

On the first day of South Harmon, Glen's shirt changes throughout the day.
------------------------

Though they have an appointment at the Board of Accreditation, they show up at the Board of Education for the hearing.
------------------------

When Sherman is in the room with the pool table, he backs into the rack holding the pool sticks and knocks them down. In the next shot back to him, there are 2 sticks and the 9-ball rack back on the rack.
------------------------

When Hands throws the cheques on the table in front of Sherman, the movie goes on with the group discussing what they are going to do. Whenever the screen shot is back on Sherman, during the discussion, the pile of cheques are always in a different spot on the table.
------------------------

When Hands and B are sitting playing computer games, Hands' right shorts leg is above the knee, the camera angle changes and we see them still playing games from behind, when the camera moves back the shorts are now covering his knee.
------------------------

When B is painting a dorm room, the color of the paint in one of the buckets changes between scenes.
------------------------

When Bartleby and crew are walking into the "college" and the skateboarders come riding out, the angle changes and we see the camera men in the right of the screen.
------------------------

------------------------

It's supposed to be October in Ohio but there are blooming flowers and palm trees visible in several outdoor shots.
------------------------

When Bartleby is explaining to Hands, Glen, and Rory why they should get accreditation, right before Sherman shows up, the wall behind him has "Yen Chi..., Chinese Restaurant" painted on it with a phone number. This number belongs to a Yen Ching Chinese Restaurant in Burbank, California.
------------------------

The return address on the letter states the Board of Accreditation is in Harmon, OH when in actuality all state offices would be in Columbus, OH.
------------------------

When the fire alarm is activated at the party all the sprinkler heads activate and spray water. Automatic sprinklers use a metal alloy with a low melting point to govern activation. Only heat can activate a sprinkler head.
------------------------

After B gets done singing "Blitzkrieg Bop", he tells Monica he channeled the ghost of Johnny Ramone. Johnny was their guitarist. B would have been channeling the ghost of Joey Ramone.
------------------------

There is no 'Ohio State College' in Ohio, rather the intended institution's real name is 'The Ohio State University'.
------------------------

In the last scene, as Dean Van Horne is walking towards his car, he hesitates because he is anticipating the explosion which destroys his vehicle.
------------------------

After Ambrose sets off the sprinkler system and the whole party decides to continue, nobody is electrocuted from the band instruments and equipment and such which are obviously plugged straight into the outlets.
