Differences Between The Movie and The TV Series
The movie and TV series have a few subtle inconsistencies, possibly so viewers who have no previous experience with the show can follow the plot. Several direct contradictions are as follows.
- Bubbles' shed: In the TV series, Bubbles lives in a number of store-bought sheds. In the movie, he lives in a shed made from lumber, plywood, and plastic roofing, which is condemned and destroyed by Mr. Lahey, and a new one built to replace it.
- Lucy and Sarah's relationship/sexuality: In the TV series, Lucy and Sarah, both heterosexual, are simply old friends who share a trailer. In the movie, Lucy is "one-eighth gay," and the two have had previous sexual encounters.
- Ricky and Lucy's marriage: At the end of the movie, Ricky and Lucy get married and go on to live together again. In the TV series, Ricky and Lucy were to get married in the first season finale, but the police shut down the ceremony to arrest Ricky and Julian. Ricky and Lucy then have an on-again/off-again relationship throughout the series without ever being married, even in episodes filmed after the movie or in the following movie.
- The role of Trinity: In the TV series, Trinity was played by Jeanna Harrison, but in the movie she was played by Lydia Lawson-Baird because Harrison looked too old to play Trinity at a younger age. Also, in the movie, Trinity steals barbecues, fixes them up, and sells them at flea markets. In the TV series, she merely helps steal the barbecues for Ricky.
- Lucy's boob job: In the TV series, Lucy got her breast implants from the money that Cory and Trevor took from the boys. In the movie, she got them from Sonny, the owner of the gentlemen's club.
- J-Roc's greasy films: In the TV series, J-Roc never succeeded in completing a greasy film, the titles of which are parodies of known titles. In the movie, J-Roc manages to complete a set of films, all of which contain the word "hoes" in the title.
The movie was released between Season 6 and Season 7, however, its story can be considered to take place either between seasons 4 and 5, when Lucy got her boob job, or between seasons 5 and 6, when Mr. Lahey's car first appeared without the roof. Because of the inconsistency of the timeline and the various differences between series and movie, the movie is considered to be non-canon.

Famous quotes containing the words differences between, differences, movie and/or series:
“The extent to which a parent is able to see a child’s world through that child’s eyes depends very much on the parent’s ability to appreciate the differences between herself and her child and to respect those differences. Your own children need you to accept them for who they are, not who you would like them to be.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“Generally there is no consistent evidence of significant differences in school achievement between children of working and nonworking mothers, but differences that do appear are often related to maternal satisfaction with her chosen role, and the quality of substitute care.”
—Ruth E. Zambrana, U.S. researcher, M. Hurst, and R.L. Hite. “The Working Mother in Contemporary Perspectives: A Review of Literature,” Pediatrics (December 1979)
“I discovered early in my movie work that a movie is never any better than the stupidest man connected with it. There are times when this distinction may be given to the writer or director. Most often it belongs to the producer.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“Mortality: not acquittal but a series of postponements is what we hope for.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
