‘Movie 43’ Green-Band Trailer: “Unspeakable, Unforgivable, Just Plain Wrong”? If You Say So
Thered-band trailerforPeter Farrelly’sMovie 43leaned hard on the shock factor of seeing big Hollywood stars revel in foul language and filthy jokes, but the poor green-band trailer is stuck trying to sell the exact same product by only hinting at what the NSFW version could actually show. IsAnna FarisaskingChris Prattto take a dump on her still comedy gold when the word “poop” has to be substituted with a fart noise? IsLiev SchreiberandNaomi Wattsbullying their own kid still shocking when they have to keep their behavior G-rated?
Eh, truthfully, I think the answer is that none of this looked all that outrageous to begin with. But at least it’s not any less funny than it was before. Hit the jump to seeHugh Jackman,Gerard Butler,Kate Winslet,Halle Berry,Stephen Merchant,Emma Stone,Kristen Bell,Elizabeth Banks,Josh Duhamel,Terrence Howard,Christopher Mintz-Plasse,Chloë Grace Moretz,Seann William Scott,Jason Sudeikis,Kristen Bell,Richard Gere, and so, so, so many more celebs in the new SFW trailer.
Movie 43consists of over 20 sketches from a dozen different directors including Farrelly,Brett Ratner,Bob Odenkirk, andJames Gunn. We can probably expect some unevenness, as is usually the case with anthologies, but some of this looks entertaining if you like this kind of humor.
I love the idea of Berry running around ruining blind kids' birthday parties, and I laughed out loud at Stone’s pitch-perfect delivery of “He was a wizard!” On the flip side, the Schreiber / Watts storyline and the iBabe segment look likeSNLskits gone sour. And all in all, none of this really seems as “unspeakable, unforgivable, unbelievable, unsafe, and just plain wrong” as the marketing promises.
