Bad Marketing for new Dane Cook film?



There's an interesting post over at Cinematical about the disparity between the poster for the upcoming Dane Cook / Kate Hudson film My Best Friend's Girl and the trailer. The poster makes it look like a fairly generic romantic comedy while the trailer makes it look like a funny but very adult film. Even Dane Cook doesn't like the poster. Some people really dislike Dane Cook but I like him, I guess I find him funny, most of the time. He can get a bit over the top.



So watch the trailer and let me know if you think you would be surprised if you went to see the film based on the poster.


Note: The trailer is a red-band trailer which means it contains naughty words and is NSFW.

The trailer presents... some kind of interesting movie I'd see... although I'm not sure how good it could actually be.

very good point. i hate dane cook as a standup comic - i think his material is quite predictable and i don't find him yelling the jokes to be particularly funny either. however, i like him in movies (even though 'dan in real life' was his only good one). i guess when he's not shouting all his lines, he's a pretty good actor.

anyway - from the poster i wouldn't be too keen on watching this movie, but from the trailer i feel like i'd like it.

i just hope to god this trailer isn't the kind that gives away all of the movie's best jokes, so you leave feeling conned. (that's what happened with zohan)...
