...cameos for indie director Kevin Smith, there's a lot of fussing, as if there's a "Thanks, Ben!" banner hanging behind him. Judge's take is a welcome contrast. It's the character actors who get to shine here. Koechner is grotesquely right as Nathan, and Saturday Night Live graduate Wiig is far more appealing and nuanced than the sweatpant routine would suggest.

Numbers from the U.S. Department of Education, for instance, show that elementary school students who live in owned homes consistently do better on reading and math tests than students who live in rentals.

In fact, making light of this serious subject matter in the university-sponsored event actually seemed to encourage the students to laugh at attitudes that are present during sexual assault.
