Trivia
Jason Lee was meant to have a larger role in this film, but his screen time was rewritten shorter than planned due to scheduling conflicts with My Name Is Earl (2005). Most of his scenes were filled in with Zachary Levi's character, Toby Seville.

Goofs
(at around 58 mins) At the sing-off, when the Chipettes are singing, Ian uses his phone to make a video. He says "If you like what you see, call Ian Hawke...." however, when the video is seen on a website by some record executives, Ian says "If you're interested..."

Quotes
Theodore: [upon Dave asking where Aunt Jackie is] She's practicing her pole dancing.

Crazy credits
After the very last credit scrolls off the top of the screen, there is one more little scene.

Alternate versions
When the movie is aired on Freeform in, Ian Hawke's phone number is muted (which is odd, since the number doesn't exist in the first place) and references to "The Donald" (as in Trump) are removed entirely.

Even the Kiddies Weren't Buying It

Today I had to sit through this movie several times. :-(

As an adult, it wasn't funny or entertaining. But what amused me was the reaction from the kids in the audiences. Almost none of the kids laughed out loud during the matinée viewing (the showing with the most kids in attendance).

Some take away comments from the mouth of babes: "Is it over YET?" "I'm bored" and my personal favorite "That wasn't so funny at all." (poor kid said it over and over again with the "big" jokes.) Plus, I had never seen so many kids ready to leave after the first 15 minutes.

It didn't get better over the course of the evening.
