I thought the movie was going to be stupid and boring going into it, and only half of that was true. It was stupid, yes, but somewhat funny. I laughed much harder than I probably should have when Ben went downstairs dressed as Hitler, but I'd love to know the idea behind that. who decided it was a good idea for a Jewish kid to go downstairs and show his Jewish family that he's dressed as Adolf Hitler? Barry Levinson/Ben, apparently. I thought Ben's relationship with Sylvia was sweet, despite both of their families' efforts to keep them apart. Van's storyline was stupid, and the only redeeming part of the whole thing was the small appearance from Misha Collins at the Halloween party, as well as Van responding to "do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" with "no." I wasn't really into Nate's storyline with the burlesque, but I thought Little Melvin and Scribbles had some debatably entertaining moments.
