The Chumscrubber was a lighter kind of Donnie Darko film. Some of the acting wasn't the greatest and some of the casting could have been better. Kind like a sick twist on Desperate Housewives. Where the film fails is in how it tries to mix Donnie Darko with Desperate Housewives. It tried to hard maintain both elements and ending failing at both. It is kind of like two films stuck together. If it was a film about the adults in town and how fucked up they are and how they don't really care about the kids it probably would have been good. If it was a film about the kidnapping plot and how fucked up the kids are it may have been a good film. However when they mixed them together they kind of half-assed it and it failed. The strange animation segments were just dump and really took away from the film as well. However at times I did enjoy it so I give it 2.5
