I could not understand the low rate of this movie. I thought it was an horror comedy movie but it is really a comedy.I started laughing in the beginning and the best character is Albert, the 8 years old boy that needs to be babysitted because his widow mother has a party with her new 26 year old boyfriend.The nerds are great, specially the jap/korean/oriental guy, I do not know where he comes from.The scene in the chicken fast food is hilarious.Maybe everybody was expecting a more sexual content like in the OC but the director delivered very well. It has lost some timing near the end but the last scene with Albert made me give this movie an 8.

This stars the latest Disney princess. It's Halloween and Wren (Victoria Justice) just wants to party with her best friend (Jane Levy). Instead her mother (Chelsea Handler) insists that she takes her little brother out for trick or treat. While out, she loses her brother and a mad cap search for him begins. Josh Schwartz who wrote and produced TV shows Gossip Girl, Chuck, and The O.C. directs this teen movie. The movie does have potential. The leads are likable. A night of crazy adventure is usually fun and compelling. Keeping the kid silent was a mistake, and a better rewrite was needed. The search is completely illogical. The kid lacks charisma and not talking doesn't help any. Although Victoria Justice has the charisma to lead this movie which is the most important aspect.

I have to admit, the title did not really tell me much about what was about to happen or be inside this movie. I was expecting a comedy and it works on that level (in some degree), but I did not see the Halloween theme ... and the teenage boys/girls love themes.Anyway, it is a fun little movie that may make you aware of RBG, if you didn't know her before this (which would be a shame, but one is never too old to learn). Not a great movie, but a ... fun sized one, with some jokes that work and others that don't.
