Trivia:

Anna Faris's characters name, Cindy Campbell, is a play on the name Sidney, from the Scream Trilogy, and a reference to the actress Neve Campbell, who plays Sidney.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The same girl walks by two or three times when Cindy and Bobby are talking in the cafeteria. Shorty even refers to this, making it clear to most viewers that it's a joke.

Policeman #1: That's when you know you've become a man, Doofy.
Deputy Doofy: Hey, Terry! Smell my fingers!
Policeman #1: What the hell is that?

Soundtrack:

Too Cool for School

Very funny and clever, better than most other take off movies.

Very funny comedy from the Wayan team. It's a take on all the recent teen horror flicks, and it does it superbly well. I hate noise in cinemas while I'm watching a film, but I couldn't keep quiet, I was laughing out loud, and I even shouted at the screen. Now I have never done that before. The gags, from one liners to the set pieces, are so funny, watch out for the sex scene and the gym teacher - I almost wet myself. This ranks next to Airplane as one of the top ten funnies.
