Teeth

[Bosco B Thug]

Trailer (http://media.movies.ign.com/media/142/14211391/vids_1.html)

I have a feeling the trailer is a bit of a tonal mislead, but...

Eep. Scary.

It is a little bit, from what I know about the movie. It's a good marketing strategy, though.

Is her vagina a serial killer?

You have got to be kidding me. I sincerely hope that this is intended as dark comedy.

Ah, ok. So, with the trailer, they're going for the Hostel crowd and with the poster they're going for the Knocked Up crowd.

[soitgoes...]

Hmm... I'm gonna say this'll suck, yet will make a good deal of money.

Saw it at the Sydney Film Festival. It suffers a bit of an identity crisis toward the end, but for the most part it's very funny, and Jess Weixler is terrific (and gorgeous) in the lead... definitely a star-making performance or whatever. And yes, the film is painful.

It's actually more for the John Waters/Todd Solondz/Saved! crowd, which I am definitely not a part of, and as a satire it shares the same smugness & shrillness as the aforementioned, but I enjoyed it a lot nonetheless.

And LOL at me for being the first person here to see it.

John Waters and Todd Solondz are in the same crowd? :confused:

No, but their films appeal to the same crowd, I find.

Ah, ok. So, with the trailer, they're going for the Hostel crowd and with the poster they're going for the Knocked Up crowd. Gosh! I'm sick and tired of all you Hostel haters assuming loving the Hostel movies means you can group us as guys who aren't insecure about watching movies that threaten demasculinization via angry vaginas! :evil: ;)

That said, I liked Superbad - it was a little (okay, a lot) slapdash, but its strangely phantasmagoric barrage of desperate circumstances cast a surprising heaviness upon my teenage male soul. It was like watching 'Eastern Promises' set in high school (I know, a stretch).

Not saying it will be, but I could see this film having had turned out to be a part-'Hostel', part-Apatow sex comedy gender-role re-evaluation. I hope it isn't too broad with any of its (hopefully cohesive) satire as Boner M. pointed out.

Cute poster it has, though.

Delayed till 2008...

My bastard wireless is having problems with the streaming video link from the IGN site. Anyways this film sounds interesting, and the posters for the movie are pretty cool.

This movie is a riot; In order for the premise to work they needed to find an oblivious girl to the human anatomy, but at the same time get her to engage in sex with more than one person. The end result is everyone in this town is trying to take advantage of this one girl. It sorta works, but there's a lot of awkward unnatural behavior.

[[ETM]]

I thought the acting from the leads sucked, the secondary characters even more, the script was... not good, and couldn't even finish it in the end.:confused:

[number8]

I was gonna put this in my top 10 of 2008.

Boring crap.
