[http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/disney/greenwithenvy/](http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/disney/greenwithenvy/) A romantic comedy with Jason Segal and Amy Adams probably isn’t your style. It’s certainly not my style at all. But something about it tells me I’m gonna like this movie. I’m not sure what it is. Watch the trailer and see for yourself. ---

Damn! Thought I was gonna be the first to post it. When I first started watching the trailer, I thought, “Why the hell did 2 of my friends post this on Facebook”? Then I kept watching. ---

UGH. That looks terrible. I turned it off after 30 seconds. I need to see another rom-com like I need someone to stick their hand up my butt. ---

I’m not so much a Rom Com kinda guy, but this movie looks _amazing_. Amy Adams is adorable, Jason Segel is charming, and don’t get me started on the supporting cast- there’s so much talent here I can’t even list all the brilliant performers. And great looking explosions, I can’t believe they had the budget for that! I’ll be there opening day- midnight showing if they do one of those!

Ha, nice. I wonder if Segal will be able to slip in “[Dracula’s Lament](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3SsYyTUu50&feature=related)”. ---

That’s the first time I’ve seen a trailer and said, “We’re totally taking the kids to see that.” It looks like it has something for everyone. Not too many “family” movies are really like that anymore. Thanks for sharing! ---

As many movies as I see, and as many people I follow on Twitter who deal with movies, I’m shocked I hadn’t heard about this movie until this thread. I/ll see this just because I like Adams and Segal, I wouldn’t need any other reason. I haven’t watched the trailer though and I won’t. I rarely watch trailers anyway (I’ve managed to avoid seeing a Super 8 trailer or clip) but I do sometimes, and after skimming this thread, it’s good to know that if I’m in the theater and the trailer starts that I should close my eyes and plug my ears, so I don’t get spoiled by whatever it is that is surprising you guys. ---

Trust me, watch the trailer. I know you avoid spoilers and stuff, but you need to watch it. It’s hard to understand, but trust me, if you don’t watch it, you will never see the movie. ---

Yea, its the trailer that has the twist. I don’t think its in the actual movie. ---

Indeed. This is one instance where seeing the film first would spoil the trailer for you. ---

Wow, Adams and Segel keep busy. They’re also in [The Fuzzy Pack](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRxDqakiw3I)- which also comes out in November. ---

It’s hard to understand, but trust me, if you don’t watch it, you will never see the movie. Actually, it’s the opposite. I went ahead and watched the trailer and now that I have, I won’t see the movie. Thanks for the warning guys! 😉 I really fucking hate Muppets. Watching that trailer is as close as I’ll get to seeing the movie. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/green-with-envy-i-think-i-need-to-see-this-movie/582979.md?page=2)
