Here's the best looking movie of 2007! The webby for best poster goes too...
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I started this out thinking I was going to be much meaner than I will end up. This poster looks shitty... and unfortunately it looks on par with Robin Williams' shittiest, which is saying something. Like a sitcom pitch that failed and was then refitted into a feature. Take a look.
But then I took a closer look. I like Mandy Moore. She's adorable and she was great on ENTOURAGE. John Krasinski is good on OFFICE. And Ken Kwapis, director, did some episodes of THE OFFICE and directed one of my favorite overlooked and flamboyantly '80s movies ever... VIBES with Jeff Glodblum and Cyndi Lauper.
So, interesting team. They just have a crappy, generic poster.

It's the holy version of What about Bob.
-
It's the same look Jim gives to the camera about 3-4 times per episode...
-
It looks as bad as RV, sans the RV.
-
Squeezing out films faster then Stephen King can pinch off a new novel. Ah what the hell... I still like him. And Mandy Moore IS adorable
-
...if Mandy is a good Catholic and takes it in the pooper to save her virginity till after marriage?
-
I overdosed on Williams' shtick years ago. Seeing him on a poster has the same effect on me as one of those Mister Yuck stickers.
-
Or maybe it's the sidekick...
-
But a horrible photoshop job retouching it. Mandy Moore's skin looks like she has leprosy and Jim (from the Office) doesn't look recognizable. I had no idea who he was from the picture...
-
tentpole written all over it
kill me -
if i was ever involved with the marketing of a comedy thats one thing I would never do.
something besides red font would make it instaintaniously non-cliche -
...is okay in my book.
-
Why are people SO stupid? Why? Instead of red states and blue states, there should be people that like Robin Williams states and people who want to bludgeon Robin Williams states. Then, the people who want to bludgeon Robin Williams states would totally get all the good movies. Like Smokin' Aces. Oh wait, that was a crime against humanity. Um, let me think about this some more.
-
isn't acting. He knows this movie is going to suck, just like all the rest of us. Nobody even told him they were going to take a picture.
-
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
-
No surprise, as Ken Kwapis has directed a number of "Office" eps. So as much as I hate Robin Williams comedies, I'll see this.
-
because Steve Carrel is too big a star.
-
butter my ass. i've got no fucking chance in this industry.
-
(shakes head) However, the gaffe is forgiven since I thought I was the ONLY person who enjoyed "Vibes".
-
... this will suck... hard...
-
Erection-capable for 36 hours. Oh...what's up with Robin Williams cockblocking? Who does he think he is? Chris Hansen?!?!
-
But I'm just happy to see Hollywood out something with a priest who isn't molesting a kid. At least, I think he isn't. And who said "Krasinski gets a feature deal"? He got a part in a movie. Big difference. He's likeable and funny on The Office, why can't he be good in something else? I mean, no one probably is in this flick, but in something else.
-
Oh, look. Another film bashing the Catholic faith. Never seen one of those before. How origninal. Is there a mole in the priesthood, too?
-
when he's not doing the annoying, hyperactive, stream of consciousness, trying-too-hard-to-be-funny schtick. Basically he's good in dramas.
-
i said "Krasinski gets a feature deal?". he can be good in something. he's just sort of bland in the American Office. he displays no virtuosity that warrants a film deal. the office is the first thing he's really done. so that's why i'm kind of confused.
-
how high you must have been to enjoy that. or maybe you were five. I remember watching it on Showtime in 89 and thinking it seemed 3 hours long. ; )
-
He looks so much like Will Kemp...um, anyway...I do enjoy his voiceover work as well, as he played the Gilbert Grape squirrel in an episode of "American Dad" and will be playing Lancelot in "Shrek 3". This...well, I'm a Catholic, and I'm not sure what the movie's going to be like, except I know it's about a wacky priest who gets too involved in an engaged couple's life. It should be less offensive than "Saved"...
-
Mandy Moore is the shit.
-
Just a few tiny letters away from blockbuster.
-
And that's that.
-
You said it! From Wedding Crashers to RV to Norbit to EVERY RECENT COMEDY IMAGINABLE! But I don't think funny when I see it. I think sadness.
-
What will Pam say, Jim?
-
It looks like an 80's comedy poster. Like CLASS or THE MONEY PIT or something. Just slide Robin Williams over into Krasinski's slot and put Rodney Dangerfield in the middle and BAM! We know exactly what we're getting.
-
...he gets to pretend he's banging Mandy Moore in this movie and he gets to bang Rashida Jones in real life!
-
And it's directed by Ken Kwapis! Finally, some recognition, whoever he is!
-
...or did they just get shrunk down?
-
I mean, laugh-out-loud funny, like when he did that special at the Hollywood Bowl and GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM. Now...he's just kinda sad to watch, like any number of fading stars that are past their prime and never evolved as the years wore on.
Perhaps Robin has realized this as well, which is why he's blatantly taking on projects for the paycheck instead of holding out for quality material. Until then, unfortunately, we're forced to watch him trot out that tired Jack Nicholson impression in interviews for instantly forgettable projects like this one.
-
well maybe he was funny as Mork but that was because I was 10 years old.
-
Robin Williams was NEVER frickin' funny!!!
-
he is in like 8 horrible movies a year, with at least 3 of them being pixar style animation crap. Most people could live off of what he gets paid for one horrible movie a year. Why torture us with so many more??? WHY??????
-
Drool.
-
He's actually better off making Mrs. Doubtfire 2.
-
that's horrible
-
...the strokability scale
-
No wonder he's smiling
-
which featured the last interesting screen performance by Chevy Chase. Ken did Sesame Street proud!
-
Dude, that Chris Hansen comment is fucking hilarious! I guarantee that alone will be funnier than ANYTHING this alleged "comedy" will have to offer.
-
The number of negative portrayals of priests in films/TV is far less than the number of actual creepy molester priests in real life. In other words, Hollywood has a lot of catching up to do before you are allowed to cry. That said, this does look like a shitty movie.
-
Maybe this film wont be a comedy classic, but bashing it based on it's poster? You should know that a movie's marketing and the actual film are two different things. I'm sick and tired of the Robin Williams bashing. Lets face it. The man is talented, won an oscar, made some of the funniest films and stand up routines in the last 30 years, yet will NEVER get respect. There's more to life than picking on a SUCCESSFUL comedian.
-
All three were at one point on the cutting edge of comedy and now they are just hollow men cashing the next paycheck.
-
OMG!!
-
Not that bad a poster realy :)
-
Damn you Michael Bay
-
The guy clearly has talent, but I can't recall the last time he managed to harness it for one of his so-called comedies. It would be hard to imagine writing this a few decades back, but . . . Robin Williams needs to stick to dramatic roles.

Give me a Tabasco enema over any Robin Williams any day
by bannedontherun
Imagine no Robin Williams. It's easy if you try.

I feel the need to rush into the outstretched arms of sweet oblivious death!

Hey Mori! I remember seeing Vibes in the movie theater
by the ghost of marcus brody
I think it was a double feature with Firewalker starring Chuck Norris and Lou Gossett Jr. and you're right, Vibes is awesome.
-
I think Robin is still funny. He just needs better choices, just like Jim Carey.
-
this looks like the poster for this:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/sleepingdogslie/ -
As an actor hes pretty good but why does he chose all these bad movies?
HE was awesome in that movie where he was a photo clerk .
I am just so depressed that he choses all these bad movies. -
And I've never laughed so hard at a live performance - and I'm not even an RW fan, really. Back in the late 1970s, I was firmly in the Steve Martin camp in the Today's Funniest Comic debate. Hard to believe the crap they both put out on the big screen nowadays, though.
-
line up the actors names with the pictures of the actors? I mean, does Robin Williams' name REALLY need to come first? Is he that arrogant? Are we that stupid to not recognize him? I find it so annoying for some reason. Meh.
Mandy Moore is my dreamgirl. -
with eczema.
-
And that's saying a lot since it came out the same year as Superman Returns and Running With Scissors!
-
Because he took RV after Foxworthy passed.
-
Well girl areya hungry,
I'm gonna make you full,
Start lickin' the cream,
From my popsicle,
Well the rooster is a cock,
That crows so long,
I'm gonna dorker pork ya,
Pump yer dumper till dawn
Amen -
...compared to the alleged Mrs. Doubtfire 2 in the 'works'
-
Can someone explain to me why nearly every comedy has big, capital red letters on white background? (scary movie, not another teen movie, wedding crashers, etc., etc. etc.) Is it a studio thing?
-
Robin Williams has been doing that same painfully tired, cliched "southern evangalist/preacher" bit for over 30 years now... do we really NEED to see an entire film's worth of it? When will studios stop putting him in movies and just let him go and die peacefully on the next version of "Hollywood Squares"?
-
than the ones on display by bay this summer
-
...the position of the actors' names doesn't correspond with where they are in the picture.
I know *why*. But it's still funny. -
The establishment of packaging conventions helps idiots quickly navigate through the three films that Blockbuster has on the new release wall.All comedies are white background with puffy red lettering and the actors making exagerated and radically different facial expressions. IE one person person looking extremely happy and another looking really fed up. (see above poster)Action movies always feature a black background and a scowling man with an explosion and frequetly a woman looking pained.
Any movie that has a poster that looks different from conventions will not attract as many people to pick up the box or debate going into the cinema and seeing it. All they'll think is "ewwww... that looks foriegn".Conventional posters also help warn smart people that the movie also will be conventional. -
All historial epics must have clouds parting and a clear shot of a sword to warn audiences that this film will not contain any pistols or sports cars.
-
following Mandy Moore's name on a magazine cover:
Finally, NUDE!! -
...there'd be no way in HELL she'd have all them clothes on. 'Nuff said.
-
Clive Owen and the Elephant (Wo)Man's illegitimate crack baby. On acid.
-
oh come on you were all thinking it.
-
Now where else have I seen him?
[scarcasm just in case the internet robbed me of my tongue in cheek] -
...But my sister will probably like it.

I thought you meant best "poster" as in talkbacks......
by cotton mcknight
which I would have easily won, hands down.
-
wow, another rw film to hate
-
lost their funny in a way that was truly sinister, as though it was extracted with a syringe in some underground lab.
Check out Robin Williams' overall performer rating on Rotten Tomatoes: I just found out that you can do that.
