Before they made it to NBC, they work together a bunch on little internet videos.

In the first 10 min or so, yes. However, I consider Walsh to not be an NBC person. UCB, yes.

I noticed that too, good movie. 7/10

Look at the night sky, where does it end?

Also I could be mistaken, but was it Ryan from The Office who had a firecracker thrown at him in the grocery store? He was just shown for a second but I'm pretty sure that it was him.

I was just thinking about this today, that lots of actors from those shows you just mentioned all get recycled in so many movies together! It's crazy! Someone in Hollywood must really love those shows because this happens all to much! Another great example of this is: The Five Year Engagement (Kelly from The Office, Andy from Parks & Rec, Annie from Community).

The reason being this film was made through their resources at NYU, which a lot of that era of NBC Comedic actors originate from.
