I read the book a while back so I’m happy to see the trailer…sort of. I like Simon Pegg (he’s actually a good match for the real deal) and Robert B. Weide does a great job with Curb Your Enthusiasm. However, if I saw this trailer having not read the book I’d write this off as a shitty comedy that I’d never want to see. Hopefully the movie uses slapstick sparingly and portrays Toby Young’s antics a Larry David sort of way. (Toby Young actually was a Larry David according to the memoir!)

It’s definitely edited together to make it seem like a goofy slapstick comedy, but buried in amongst that stuff it looks like they’ve nailed the right tone for all the awkward and embarrassing moments.

I don’t care about Simon Pegg, but I love Jeff Bridges and Kirsten Dunst so I am definitely looking forward to this, even though I agree with Rian that there was not one funny moment in the trailer. Well, except for Jeff Bridges’ look, but I saw that in the previous trailer already! He does look awesome though. I wonder if there is any sort of extreme look he can’t pull off? Doesn’t seem like it. And the guy is almost 60! Seems about ripe for starring in another John Carpenter movie, doesn’t he?

I love the concept of this movie, as well as a few of the actors, but the trailer looks absolutely stupid to me. It looks like every other cliched comedy that I’ve avoided because of how simple they’ve looked. Are my standards a bit too high? Something tells me that I should probably just read the book instead.
