Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Non Sequitur Scene: Jacob is running to find his companions. Suddenly he is dancing with a girl and asking if he can text her. The girl is never seen or mentioned again.
    • The girl does show up in a deleted scene, in which she asks Jacob about his snowboard. The scene of them dancing makes a little more sense after watching the deleted scenes.
  • Critical Research Failure: Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home" was already released in 1985; a year before it would have been possible for Lou to create the song.
    • The recording shown is from a live show, I think it's more implied that he somehow took over the band and changed the name possibly due to his great song ideas thanks to his future knowledge.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: A screaming, obscene phone call to a nine year old girl becomes a character's Crowning Moment of Awesome.
    • There's also the revelation that Lou is Jacob's father.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Adam's quote: "One little change has a ripple effect and it effects everything else. Like a butterfly floats its wings and Tokyo explodes or there's a tsunami, in like, you know, somewhere".
  • X Meets Y : The Hangover meets Back to The Future
