they banned that movie in Saskatchewan. Where I live.

I think any recent film that has had a poster involving two famous actors, each facing the viewer, with each face cut off by half due to poster size and design, has been a bad movie.

kangaroo jack is a motherfucker, I know because I have seen this movie. I also saw the trumpeter swan or whatever it was called, this was sad and shitty.

Any poster with an animal's face twisted into some humanoid emotion = THIS IS A DUD

some humanoid emotion

Are you an alien, Nordicskillz?

I'll be a legal alien from June!

I love how almost every word on the cover is a superlative. Overselling an inferior product is an invitation to suicide.

Is that a solid gold dick and balls? Why?

!!!! What in the...um, translate the URL and tagline, please?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 3 May 2003 16:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

Martin - yes; because it looks like the USS Enterprise.

Ned - URL: "Bully's Love Boat Surprise Period 1"; tagline: "Quit cradling your balls!"

Go figure.

I can't begin to imagine the meeting where "The smart one isn't wearing any pants" was approved as the tagline for this movie. (Not that we can see if the man has pants or not anyway.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 3 May 2003 18:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

Is that David Arquette in a cage? Holy cow.

Is it just me, or does that not look much like a film poster?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 3 May 2003 22:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Looks more like a hot chick poster to me.

Thanks for reminding me of Leonard 6, I've been trying to
remember the name of that for some time now.

I honestly can't decide if this poster is great or horrible.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 14 July 2005 14:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Anything with a huge picture of David Arquette's face is, by definition, horrible.

I like Eyes Wide Shut's poster. There are some other duds that have relatively attractive posters. Like:
