Granted, it's still a bad movie but you can't fault the acting as he and the rest of the cast had almost nothing to work with.
I don't mean to come off as pedantic right out of the gates but just a little helpful hint: awkward and stupid isn't the same thing as funny. In fact, those three things are almost never found together. Knocking over a glass at dinner or having dad find your porn on your computer do not equal humor. Got it? And then we go on to another awkward and dumb situation which is also completely void of humor or any other saving quality so why are we here? This time it's at the home of a couple where the daughter lived after leaving her boyfriend. Wow! That was rough. Please tell me the movie goes in another direction quickly.
And then we learn that the kid doesn't know how to drive so, of course, this will lead us to a completely stupid scene where his lack of driving skills will be thought of as hilarious.
And then the story just sort of unfolds in a totally unpredictable manner. There is no scene with the kid being forced to drive a car. The father isn't made out to be some sort of ninja. It looked like it was going in the direction of some Liam Neeson "I-want-my-daughter-now!" piece of trash gone completely off the rails but then it settles down into an inoffensive mess. . It turns out to be regular people in a somewhat regular situation.
