Poster Rating: D+ / C+

Review: (#1) Could a film starring Ice Cue and Charlie Day look any less appealing than it does with this poster design?

(#2) That backdrop is awful. At least find an image from the film to create some semblance of realism. The background cheering would be more interesting were it consistent. That, combined with the superimposed PhotoShopping done creates an image that’s not entirely pleasing, but isn’t as dreadful as the prior design.

Trailer Rating: B / B / B

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1) As much as the concept looks overdone, the trailer has some genuinely funny moments, including the final few, the film is likely to appeal only a small demographic, and they’ll probably turn out.

(#2) The film still looks surprisingly funny while giving more details about the events surrounding the fight, rather than the build up. It establishes each character’s base personality traits well enough.

(#3) Everything about this movie, including this new trailer, has created the impression that while it might be mostly corny, it could also be incredibly fun. That’s the kind of advertising that will get people to the theater.
