Product placement could have been more subtle


It's a known factor that product placement will be in most Hollywood movies. But they could have at least been a little more subtle about it. The Pizza Hut scene was so freaking obvious. I was expecting one of the kids to say "I love Pizza Hut, it's always so delicious and fresh."

The Hawaiian Airlines shots and the scene where the chick asks him if he's a Hilton Rewards member were also so bad it gets with product placement.

a) first off, it wasn't a chick

b) don't know about you, but having travelled a lot, I've been asked that question often enough (are you fill-in-the-blank rewards member?)

Finally, product placement enables us to get more movies!

I'll file you in the category of somebody that doesn't get the point.

ROTF!

Bogart on making some bad movies, "I'm not paid to be a Star, I'm paid to Act."

Haha, excellent comeback, Jimbo.

But with all the product placements in this movie, it still doesn't hold a candle to Sandler's Happy Gilmore. The Subway references were cringe-inducing!!

Jack and Jill was worse than Happy Gilmore. It was a giant Dunkin Donuts commercial.

Haha. Comeback to what? The fact that he can't distinguish between the sexes?

Or, the fact that product placement is a fact of life?

reply

The product placement was fine. Hawaiian Airlines -- what is wrong with that?

And the Grand Wailea does accept Hilton Rewards.

I live in Kihei right near Wailea and work at the Grand, and the only problem I had was the added scenery in some places. The hotel and Wailea Beach are both beautiful enough, and adding the bar on the beach, for example, wasn't necessary, in my opinion.
