Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: At the Wine Mixer, Dale plays drum rolls with yarn mallets, but it sounds like he's using drum sticks. Performing a drum roll with mallets would sound very different, and be a lot more difficult.

Quotes:

Nancy Huff: Today, I saw my own son use a bicycle as a weapon. You yelled 'rape' at the top of your lungs.
Brennan Huff: Mom, I honestly though I was gonna be raped for a second. He had the craziest look in his eyes, and at one point he said, "lets get it on".
Dale Doback: That was about the fighting. I'm so not a raper!

The Impression That I Get

I can't believe it

Okay people. Those of you who like Will Ferrell after watching this film should be ashamed of yourself. The man has done some great movies earlier on, but he has now dropped to the lowest ever. This film is an outrage. And what the heck is John C. Reilley doing in this. I respect him as a serious actor. That is lost. I sense i can't talk more about it. I just have to forget the whole thing and move on. But one things for sure. No more Will Ferrell for me. And i can't believe that this movie has like 6.8 or something here on IMDb. That alone says a lot about the people around the world. This is not Old school or anchorman. It's even worse than Bewithed. I compell you. Stay away...
