One of my favorite laughs from this film is when the GF pays for the sister's leg braces and Chase shows his gratitude by using the money saved to get his car painted! Yeesh, Chase, couldn't you have...

I've been unable to get out of my head, the guy demanding the sheriff give him a "soberty test." Speaking of which, you'd think that DUI was the national pastime from this movie. Every single motorist...
