Synopsis:

Poster Rating: C- (2) / A-

Review: (#1-#2, C-) These two designs are almost identical with three word sets changing between them (“inebriated/stoned,” “wrecked/fucked,” and “figure it all out/get their shit together.” None of it quite works with the dull coloring and the mediocre background. (#3, A-) Although the design has a lot of empty space in it, It’s a compelling hodge-podge of characters and notable sketches thrown into a Atlas-inspired production is very good and reminiscent of the period in which the film is set.

Trailer Rating: B- / C+

Review: (#1, B-) A trailer that gives too much of the film away is a danger to attendance. Still, what’s presented here does present an intriguing situation that could be fascinating even if it looks a bit dull at times.

(#2, C+) The excitement and chaos of the firs trailer is toned down and the narrative is given more emphasis. That might actually make the film less interesting in the long wrong. Part of the excitement of the first trailer was how it portrayed the potential conflicts of the days leading up to the first broadcast. This one has almost none of that.

Oscar Prospects:

There’s a little bit of potential for some recognition. It is a Jason Reitman film, so your mileage may vary and it’s possible to not succeed at all.
