    Plot Outline: In America, we define ourselves in the superlative: we are the biggest, strongest, fastest country in the world...
    Plot: In America, we define ourselves in the superlative: we are the biggest, strongest, fastest country in the world. Is it any wonder that so many of our heroes are on performance enhancing drugs? Director Christopher Bell explores Americas win-at-all-cost culture by examining how his two brothers became members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their American dream.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 3 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    Credits shake, are being scratched over and turn left-side and right-side up and down.

    Goofs: We know about 17 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Continuity: Warren Schmidts home address is listed as 5042 Farnam Street for most of the film, but at the end, when he gets the letter from the nun, the address on the envelope is listed as 5402 Farnam Street (although, admittedly, it is not unheard of for mis-addressed letters to be delivered).

    Trivia: There are 19 entries in the trivia list - like these:
    • The shot where Schmidt has dozed off while writing a letter in his bathtub is supposed to resemble the Jacques-Louis David painting "Death of Marat".
    • Listed on a cinema marquee: (Left) Closed for repairs / (Right) Sideways (2004), the next movie directed by Alexander Payne.
    • The church shown during the wedding rehearsal is in Boulder, Colorado, 20 miles northwest of Denver. The church can be seen on the right from Hwy. 36 just as you enter town.
