Thats my only question. D.J. Qualls is not really a bona fide star, and by putting him in a lead role is like knocking at the Raspberry Award door. His last real effort was decent in Road Trip, (albiet it was the exact same character development-a nerd into a cool kid,)and even at that, it was a sub-par effort. If they had gotten a more decent star, this movie would have been a lot better. Eliza Dushku is another story. Her 2-dimensional performance was rather dissapointing after a fair turn in Soul Survivors. Thats why I have to dissagree about this movie being a movie lovers movie. I thought it was ok, but other than that, it was a weak, lightly humor-dusted, and annoying trip to a-nerd-who-wants-to-be-cool-without-alienating-his-friends-land. **1/2 (Two and a half stars out of Four.)
