Yeah it's definitely a better movie if you severely lower your expectations, but this is the guy who directed
Ghostbusters so the idea that I have to lower my expectations for one of his movies is kind of ludicrous to begin with.

They all did have a good chemistry, but I think it took them a little too long to fully team up so Duchovny and Bloom stand out the most as they were together the entire movie. Sean William Scott was a pretty good character even if he was a little one-note, but given this was only 2-years after
American Pie it's hard to begrudge him for not being as good as he was in later movies like
Goon (2011).
