!!2011 Film:

** The name of the protagonist in Gluck's [[Film/EasyA last film]], "O. Penderghast," shows up on a sign. This is also an ActorAllusion given the Emma Stone cameo.
** Woody Harrelson has [[Film/WhiteMenCantJump played basketball before]].
* TheCastShowoff: Justin Timberlake sings rather often.
* DuelingMovies:
** ''Film/{{No Strings Attached|2011}}'' had the same basic plotline and was released six months before. And for an added bonus, the female lead of that movie is Creator/MilaKunis's Black Swan co-star, Creator/NataliePortman, and Mila also played Ashton Kutcher's girlfriend on ''Series/That70sShow'' (and in real life too). Better still, Music/JustinTimberlake was a member of Music/{{NSYNC}}, who released an album called ''No Strings Attached''.
** To drive things home further, Kutcher and Kunis later got together in real life - and they have said that their relationship was originally a FriendsWithBenefits arrangement but they ended up falling in love, just like their characters in the films.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: That Justin Timberlake sure isn't much of a singer...

!!2011 NBC Sitcom:
