Goofs
In the baseball game scene, Reggie (Mike Epps) slides to steal third and gets Roscoe's jersey dirty. When he stands up and notices, he tries to brush the dirt off the #44 on the right side of the jersey. When the camera cuts to Roscoe and then back, the left side of his jersey is dirty and the right side completely clean.

The characters seem to be playing fast pitch softball, but one of them is seen allowed to lead off her base, where she is almost tagged. Leading off bases is not allowed in fast pitch softball until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand during a pitch.

(at around 50 mins) A cast member goes sneaking into the shower where a female is showering. She asks him for the "feminine wash" and he never ever hands it to her, but in the last shot of her holding up the shower curtain she has a can of something in her left hand, even though she never takes her hands off of the curtains the whole time.
