Good morning, dickhead.

Hello, moron.
Factual errors: When John and Max go to Chucks to confront him about his dinner at Arial's, John asks Chuck if he enjoyed the Blackhawks game which went into double overtime. The hockey playoffs are the only time a game would go into double overtime and are not being played at Thanksgiving time. Also, the NHL does not play hockey on either Thanksgiving nor Christmas Day, the only guaranteed off days, making a game impossible to occur.

With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
