I was just in the cinema to see The Weatherman with Nicholas Cage and Michael Cane. A decent movie, but five minutes in I lean to my friend and wispered "It's not really a comedy, is it?" He said "whatever gave you the idea it was a comedy? It's not at all. " And indeed it wasn't. Not even faintly.
On the way out I showed him the big poster in the lobby, saying:
The Weatherman
A comedy to brighten your day
"Hugely entertaining"
"A brilliant comedy"
He could see how I'd gotten confused.
How can they think it'll be good for a film to let people think it is a completely different kind of film?
