Role Models


Last week Eddie and I went and saw Role  Models (btw - horrible name for a movie) and we both kind of liked it.
.
Which is to say it was a fun, if sporadic, good time.
.
There are enough laughs to make it enjoyable.  Some huge laughs.  But it is rated R for a reason.  The humor is crude and profanity a constant part of the movie.
.
One pain in my ass, (and a personal winge) since it is a Universal picture, Universal gets the prime 2 minute preview spot right before the movie.  And one of there previews is a totally gross horror /slasher pic.  It was proceeded by appropriate funny trailers, and followed by a funny movie.  But their preview really takes you out of the moment.
.
This happens a lot, where the studio that owes the picture shows a preview in the prime, pre-movie spot, that is horribly inappropriate.  Usually it is R rated slashers before a R rated comedy - it happened on Nick and Nora's infinite playlist too.  If only we knew somebody in Movie Marketing....  think think think....
