Pun Salad

Well, now we know what happened to Peter from Office Space: he changed his name to "Roger", got married, had five lovely daughters, got an honest job driving a truck, moved to a big old isolated house which just happened to be haunted by one of the nastiest spirits you'll see.

Just kidding. Ron Livingston, according to the IMDB, has had a flourishing acting career since Office Space. Just not much in anything I'd seen.

Anyway, Peter Roger and wife Carolyn (Lili Palmer) bought this house at auction. Everybody likes it OK except Sadie, the sensible dog, who won't come in. Unfortunately, her perception is not heeded, let alone rewarded. Eventually, even Roger and Carolyn start to heed the dire signs of malevolent supernaturalism, and seek out help from Lorraine and Ed (Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson), who are actual Ghostbusters.

Well, actually that's a little frivolous. They're quite religious, and see their spiritual-cleanup efforts as part of their calling. And (somewhat to its credit) the movie plays this part absolutely straight, without condescension or skepticism. Things escalate to a pulse-quickening climax.

One problem: there is no way to keep five young daughters straight. There's the cute one, the other cute one, the somewhat older cute one, the very young cute one, and one more cute one. Which one will the evil spirit target? I forget, and you probably will too.
