The trailer is TOTALLY misleading ....


When you watch the trailer of this movie, you get an impression of a dark, but funny comedy. But you get a really wrong impression. Actually this movie is more like a sad drama with funny points for those who like to make jokes on ill people. Non of the jokes are actually funny. There is potential in this movie to make a crazy funny serialkillermovie with talking heads and talking animals, but watching this, you just feel sorry and disgust. It's not exactly SUPERBAD, though it's like a bad attempt to make a comedy version of "Beautiful Mind". It just does not work. Looks like writers could not decide if they want to do a drama or comedy. They mixed it together and it fails on both genres.
But coming back to the starting point. It could have been a LITTLE better if it did'nt give an absolutely different hope with a trailer. When trailer prepares you for one thing and you get zero, you are disappointed.
Objectively taken movie is 3-4, but considering this mislead, i would give it a 2.

Agreed. The tone of the trailer definitely didn't match the tone of the movie.
