The idiotic character played by Matthew Gray Gubler takes stupidity to a new level, playing a college graduate who refuses to take a job unless it has him starting from the top, and the result has him being forced to move back into his parents basement. The bad news is that his parents, Barbara Niven and Raymond Wise, are just as idiotic as he is, and as it turns out, everybody in this town turns out to be idiots to.
Not one likeable person, either bigoted or just plain stupid, and even the one smart character, a Gothic looking bartender (Kat Jennings) is overloaded with cynicism and vocal fry which is a deadly combination because she's the type of character who can't stop talking, with tactless things coming out of her mouth from the start. So Gray Gubler has some sort of paranormal ability and this creates some situations that end up being more gross than funny. Cameos by veteran celebrities can't help when the script is so bad, tactless and generally unwatchable.

Not even one funny moment. Scary just because it actually got made.
Comedy Strain
It's called Suburban Gothic for a reason. There may not seem to be a real goal or something this movie is heading towards (none the main character can see at least),but the ride we take with it, is so much fun, that you might not care. Ray Wise is exceptional as the bad father figure, setting the tone early on. But in a very funny way, so that you can't really be mad at him.
Humor is something that is hard to grasp or be sure about. Like obviously this is awkward and weird in a way, that will either entice the viewer or appall them. Kat Dennings seem to be shoe-in for the role she's playing, because we've seen her play similar characters before. Without knowing her you could be fooled into thinking that it's very close to who she really is. But no matter if that is true or not, this movie thrives on her and every other actor, who play their role exceptionally
A real hilarious film!
I have always thought this film had involved the best actors in the world. They have done the sarcasm so brilliantly that you would just laugh out loud to yourself or even be curious if you think what they meant!
Raymond had that caring personality for his family including his sexy goth friend Becca and his stupid uptight father. I really liked his scarf collection, they really suit the actor and character. He should appear for a men fashion magazine, just saying.
Kat Dennings as Becca looked really pretty in Gothic style. They look really suits her, she should keep that style more often! I also liked how they gave her a bad girl attitude. She probably hid her feelings for Raymond and honestly they are so cute together! I'm glad there was romance involved in the ending.
Ray Wise was brilliant playing the dad. He's a character who you would love to hate but deep down, he wants his son to do well like any other father would. He kinda reminds me of my own father. It was too bad the mother and himself divorced but you have to admit, he was pretty much a control freak.
This movie will break your jaws from laughter, go watch it!
