Movie Trailer: Its Complicated
At least they're portraying older people having relationships with older people.

That little bit of forced silver lining out of the way, we're still left wondering what could there possibly be in the film that isn't clearly laid out in the trailer? Always be wary of movies that feel the need to tip the whole narrative hand in order to get you to consider what they have to offer.

Movie Trailer: Away We Go
Yet another film about losers.

Look at the products our generation makes our ourselves. It seems that one half of the films released are fronted by stupid superheroes and the other by listless losers who can't handle the basics of life. By looking at the cinema one has to come to the conclusion that this society is fronted by a generation of adult children. Over and over again, films about half-man wimps in the prime of life not knowing how to be adults.

I've been around enough film and theater professional to know my share of big time losers, real wastes of air but the average American isn't as stupid and rudderless as film makers want us to be.

It is possible I am way off about this film. This could be a touching, heart warming flick for all I know. But its premise, its appearance speaks to the larger issue of how the cinema is portraying us to us.

Speaking to the trailer itself, it offers no reason to see the film. Its not funny, its not even quirky - its just annoying lethargic.
