Trailer Time: 'Fun Size', directed by Josh Schwartz


Truth: I have no idea who Victoria Justice and Jane Levy are. Actually, I don't know much of anybody in the cast of Fun Size. I do recognize Josh Schwartz, who is probably best remembered as the creator of The O.C., and appears to be traveling much the same route in his directorial debut by casting a number of young actors on the rise.

If it looks like a Nickelodeon version of Adventures in Babysitting, well, that's because that's basically what it is. Emerging out of Paramount's kid-friendly wing, the trailer for this inoffensive tween comedy has Justice playing a girl named Wren, who is forced by her mother(Chelsea Handler) to watch her young brother on the night of a major Halloween party. While trick or treating, she loses her Spider-Man costumed bro, and is forced to hit the city to find him before her mother finds out. And if she can get back in time to make it to the party and keep her social status intact, all the better.

Johnny Knoxville turns up for a blink and you'll miss him cameo, joining a bevy of up 'n coming stars like Thomas Mann(Project X), Josh Pence, Jane Levy(The Evil Dead remake), and Thomas McDonnell(Prom). Fun Size will open in theaters just in time for Halloween on October 26th...
