Goofs:

Miscellaneous: When Flynn and Nicole dive off the cliff into the river and fall off the waterfall they are clearly immersed in water, so much so that Flynn has to empty his bag. Yet the book seems to have sustained no damage whatsoever.

Quotes:

MaYbE I'm just a NeRd

I personally loved this movie, It was fun. Finally a movie where the smart guy/nerd is glorified and isn't the villain. It had hilarious moments and I guess I'm just weird that I like it so much. I mean, people take it way too seriously, People, ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS! It's just a good adventure and the characters are fun and funny. The jokes are laughable, as they are supposed to be, unlike in so many movies I've seen where the jokes are unbelievably corny. Obviously, these people know what they're doing.(referring to directors and screenplay writers, et...) I loved the main character, Flynn, he was a riot, and so was very lovable. There were many parts of this movie that I loved and will always love. Anyway like I said, maybe I'm just a nerd.
