The sheer mix of comdey, wit and drama is on sync with what it should be.
The casting for this movie is absolutely A+, ESPECIALLY Marilyn Manson as Christina. Also memorable performances by Seth Green and Macaulay Culkin (of course). It also struck me as hilarious that Wilmer Valderrama did Keoki's role.
