Movie 43

If this movie lives up to its trailer, it has epic potential

Meh, trailer didn’t do anything for me.

I can see the offensiveness but will the movie bring the humor?

Warning signs:

The movie was made in 2010 and still hasn’t been released.
The movie had seven writers, eleven directors, and sixteen producers.

Wow. They just went crazy!

There’s a big difference between things that are offensively funny, and things that try to be funny by simply being offensive. I have no idea which category this will fall into, of course, but it seems like the latter one is more common these days.

It’s an anthology. Each with a different story and set of people. They don’t make many of those anymore. I haven’t watched the trailer, and won’t. The eclectic cast is enough to get me there. From the article:

Chloe Grace Moretz. Elizabeth Banks. Hugh Jackman. Emma Stone. Naomi Watts. Gerard Butler as a leprechaun. I repeat… Gerard Butler as a leprechaun. Anna Faris and Chris Pratt. Kristen Bell. Kate Winslet. Richard Gere. Uma Thurman. Seann William Scott. Justin Long. Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Patrick Warburton. Liev Schreiber. Kate Bosworth. Leslie Bibb. Jason Sudeikis. Johnny Knoxville. Tony Shaloub. Kieran Culkin. Terrence Howard. Jack McBrayer. Stephen Merchant. Matt Walsh. Aasif Mandvi. John Hodgman.
