The biggest problem for this movie...


Was that the studio tried to sell it as some kind of middle of the road, lowest common denominator Adam Sandler type movie and as a consequence the wrong people went to watch it, the kind of people that don't really get alternative comedy or surrealism. The kind of people who are completely stumped by movies that don't have a defined point A to point B narrative, the kind of people that need everything spelled out. The kind of people responsible for the original theatrical cut of Blade Runner with the voice over.

I don't remember when this came out or any commercials about its release...it may not have even been in the theater here BUT judging by most trailers, I've noticed in most cases they are so far off from what a movie really is it is hilarious. There was another thread on another board about this...and I added one of my fav. films "Unforgiven." If you watch the trailer on the DVD they make it seem like it's a comedy! I really recommend trying to watch it on YouTube or wherever....and I will watch this trailer and probably shake my head also...
