Excessive Product Placement


Anyone else notice the AT&T commercial spiel during the conversation outside the singles mixer? That was probably the most blatant and forced product placement I've ever seen in a movie.

Im fine with product placement in movies, as long as it fits in the scene. When a director noticably interrupts a scene to give a pseudo commercial for a product it really damages the movie in my opinion. It felt very unnatural in jewtopia for her to interrupt that conversation to start talking about cell phone providers in the lingo that only commercials use.

Theres plenty of good uses of product placement in other movies. I thiught it was funny in back to the future when marty tries to order a Pepsi Free and the 50's diner owner tells him that he has to pay if he wants a pepsi.
