[edit] Plot

Ryan Dunn is a depressed man who is obsessed with his promiscuous ex-girlfriend, Glauren (played by Jenn Rivell). After discovering that Glauren has been seeing a metalhead named Hellboy (Rake Yohn), Dunn is devastated. Still skeptical, Dunn pays his best friends Valo (Bam Margera) and Falcone (Brandon DiCamillo) to break into Glauren's house to attain proof that her new relationship is serious. While Valo and Falcone take on several great endeavors to help their friend, Ryan is tormented with a slow and subtle period of mental and physical deterioration. After Valo and Falcone conspire to make Hellboy's life miserable, Ryan finds a new girlfriend and is finally able to get over Glauren.

[edit] Trivia

• The central theme of the movie is based on the relationship between Ryan Dunn and a former girlfriend. The girlfriend's name was Lauren, but the character was renamed "Glauren" to avoid legal problems.
• Professional skaters Jason Ellis and Bucky Lasek make appearances.
• The scene where Ryan finds out that his girlfriend got fingered on the beach was inspired by Bam Margera. When Bam was 21, he dumped his then-girlfriend after she was fingered on a beach by a "random guy" in Ocean City, Maryland, USA.
• Most of Don Vito's lines were ad libbed. Bam would get him flustered before each scene and let him release his anger on camera.
• A running joke exists that there was an entirely different version of the movie created which featured Ryan Dunn without his eye patch. This is because Ryan would often forget to wear the patch as they filmed, resulting in many re-shoots to maintain the movie's continuity.
• A sequel is in the works, to be called "Kiss a Good Man's Ass". The screenplay is written and the movie began filming in March 2006[1].
• You can hear Orbital's "Doctor ?" when Valo and Falcone are taping Don Vitos feces to Glauren's garage door. The feces were actually made from uncooked brownie mix.
• The film negatives used in the first shoot of the scene where Tony Hawk "arrests" Ryan Dunn turned out to be corrupted. Hawk agreed to return to West Chester, Pennsylvania from California to re-shoot, much to Bam's relief. A digital Betacam was used to re-shoot the scene instead of Super 16 as the rest of the film. In addition, a scene featuring the band HIM, who Bam had flown to West Chester and set up a special show for at a reported cost of $13,000, was also lost. Unfortunately, the band was unable to re-shoot.
