Unwrapped: The Making of FUN SIZE – The cast talks about shooting the film in Cleveland in the summer while they are trying to pretend it’s cold Halloween time. It’s the first movie for a lot of the cast, many of whom are TV veterans. Lots of time with each cast member as they describe their characters, cracking up on set etc. Also included are various on set attempts to perfect the funny scene in which a giant chicken statue falls on Roosevelt’s Volvo. Basic fun.

Gag Reel – Things breaking, stunts mes, lines flubbed, silly but fun.
Deleted Scenes – a few good ones. Aaron comes over to flirt with Wren..more about the lame song he’s writing for her, Fuzzy gets dumped and almost run over, Pang tells girls about his adventure shooting a chicken drumstick out of a bully’s hand, Chelsea Handler (Mom) leaves a wild party and dumps her younger boyfriend.
Jackson Nicoll: Trouble Sized – zeros in on the feisty young actor playing Wren’s little bro Albert. We see a bit of his pranks on set and the cast talks about him. He’s sort of the male Honey Boo Boo and is into slapping girls on the fanny! Okay, he’s annoying but still kinda cute.
