Quotes:

Merrill Whooly: [on cell-phone handset] Betty! No, I'm in the car. I'm going to pick up Jenna at the ferry. She came home to spend Halloween with her brother. Is that true love or what?
Douglas "Dougie" Whooly: Jenna's my girlfriend. I'm going to marry her.
Merrill Whooly: He says he's going to marry her. I don't think they got up to the word "incest" in the third grade, yet.
Douglas "Dougie" Whooly: You said "sex"!
Merrill Whooly: [to Dougie] I said "incest," and don't be so stupid - play your game!

Just let him go back to Hell!

Now, this was interesting! I only tuned in to see Amanda Plummer (who plays a really goofy mom) after watching her the other night in Seven Days to Live. I was surprised that this is a really funny film.

Written and directed by Jeff Lieberman (Blue Sunshine), it is a contender for your holiday collection right alongside Bad Santa.

A kid (Alexander Brickel) that is five beers short of a six-pack is upset that his big sister (Katheryn Winnick) comes home for a visit with a boyfriend (Stephen Graham). He makes a deal with the devil (Joshua Annex) to remove him. But, what he doesn't know...

Melisa McGregor gives us a real Halloween treat.

Neat switch from Satan to Jesus at the end. And then...Wow!
