This movie is gonna tank...


it's supposed to be released in October and there is absolutely no promotion for it that i've seen. I had to search for the trailer just to see if there was one yet. Too bad because the cast is great.

It will probably going to get a limited release nationwide, probably like 250 theaters nationwide or something and it will be put on Video on Demand, then after its short theatrical run it will be brought to DVD/Bluray. This movie while looking fun, does not have the "This was made for a major theatrical release" look to it.

The makers of this movie know the film will have limited appeal (The Robot Chicken Crowd), but no one is expecting this to make much in theaters, heck the movie probably cost less than $5 million to make honestly.

Good point. I didn't take into account that they'd do the VOD for it. I guess a lot of smaller movies are doing that these days.

Yeah, I wanted to see it when it came out too, but when I looked it up the only showings were far away from me. :(
Hopefully my local video store will have it soon so I can check it out.
And, yes, I'm one of those Robot Chicken fans. :P

Will it somehow make the movie less enjoyable for you if it doesn't do well? No? Then shut the hell up.

Don't have to be so grumpy, guys 😄😉

It's a wonderful cast, but the script could definitely be better..
Still a bit of a cute watch if you've nitflux and a couple free hours ;)

(disclaimer: I'm probably a bit biased due to my affection for the cast..)

Have a gorgeous day💟



your beard is good.
