What a difference the trailer can make -Superbad.

Superbad is a teen comedy coming out in August. I've seen the first PG trailer in theatres and thought it looked bad and had absolutely no interest in it. Today I watched the restricted trailer which does a much better job of promoting the film. One gets a much better idea what the film is actually about. One unusual thing, most times the trailer for adults is cleaned up by editing out the naughty bits. For the PG trailer they must have shot the same scenes with cleaner dialogue.

You may notice the beginning of the trailer has a MPAA rating notice in red, noting it's a restricted trailer. Most trailers have it in green marking a PG or G version. These are called Red Band and Green Band trailers. In the states they have to show the band in front of each trailer. Since we have a different ratings system we usually cut them off here.

Here's the PG trailer which sucks.




Here's the R trailer (coarse language) - this one is way funnier and I may actually go see the movie.



Another place in case youtube pulls it.

It's a good comparison - Onion AV did the same sort of thing last week.
