Someone I met at my current job was an extra in this movie, as a generic Nerd in the Nerd Clique. He says they shot a scene that wasn’t used, in which the nerds ogle a comically oversized human anatomy book. I guess there were just too many plot threads to justify keeping such an extraneous moment!
Also, thanks for the link

“Title card: two years later”. Why wouldn’t it be, I don’t know, two -weeks- later? The people who made this movie obviously -hated- it. I mean, -really- hated it.

It sounds as if Eliott was describing The Smurfs movie when he was pitching his script, but this was recorded before the smurfs right? I’m confused.
The Principal’s daughter who wants that oddly-designed clique taxonomy would grow up to create the gangs in “The Warriors”.
