The idea sounds kind of cool...have a famous author of a psychological "self-help" book come right into your home to help you deal with your parental/life problems. It could've had great potential, but the parents are unlikable drips with no development and his friends are nerdier than your own friends and for most of the movie, we see only Rob's shag, and not his sweet face. R Pattz is convincing as a nerd and I still love him dearly for even taking on such a wimpy role (although better executed with the good script in the movie "The Worst Mother's Handbook". So kuddos to him, but please go see his Twilight era movies such as Little Ashes and Bel Ami before heading back to this historic drek.
