Goofs: Revealing mistakes: When Cooper and Josh are breaking into the library at night, Cooper wraps the rope around a support beam. When Josh takes up the slack to lower Cooper into the library, the rope he is holding dangles loosely down, revealing it to not be taking any weight and also showing it’s not wrapped around the beam. He also doesn’t move at all when Cooper drops in and supposedly puts about 180 pounds of weight on the other end of the rope that Josh is holding.
“Two college roommates go out and party, resulting in bad grades. They learn of the “if your roommate dies, you get an A” clause, and decide to find someone who is “on the verge” so to speak to move in with them. Written by Christy”
