Poster Rating: C-

Review: Resembling the ad art for most television series, the film’s poster is hardly interesting. Instead, it’s a Picket Fences-style simplistic design.

Trailer Rating: B-

Review: Luke Wilson may finally have a modest hit on his hand. After several rather lackluster film choices, Wilson may finally have a shot at success again. This trailer suggests the film may wallow in its own spiritual smugness and provide overzealous spiritual fulfillment, but can be saved by Wilson and Oscar nominee Adriana Barraza.

Oscar Prospects:

Let’s not confuse Henry Poole Is Here with Juno. This movie won’t appeal to the same demographic that made the Ellen Page film a success at the Oscars. Wilson might get soem polite applause from critics, but that’s about as far as it will go.
