It's, apparently, based on a true story about some guy that was beat up by Neo-Nazis so he uses his skills in miniature art to help cope with the trauma.

It stars Steve Carell and directed by the guy who did Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forest Gump. That team-up sounds solid as fuck. I wonder what went wrong.

I already made a topic the other day about good directors who became crappy

having made big deal movies in the past doesn't mean shit anymore, most directors of that ilk just phone it in these days

I didn't think it'd be particularly great based on the ads, but I'm a little surprised it's that bad

Definitely expected it to flop, though. With Aquaman coming up, it's gonna get sunk.

I saw the trailer for it when I went to see The Mule (Which was one of the worst Eastwood films I've seen). I wasn't impressed

That's pretty odd cause the movies theme based on the trailer I saw is the guy is the victim and the lady dolls are the heroes who protect him

Yeah, people tend to forget that even guys like Francis Ford Coppola put out absolute dreck later in their careers.

This is the one I'm reading.

This guy might be overblowing it though. He seems a little bit like the type.

If he's right then yeah that would definitely bring it down cause the movie is about a dude who got jumped by a group of guys and lost his memory so he retreats into this fantasy doll world. The dolls represent the women in his life who help him. The trailer had them kicking other male dolls asses (I assume representing the guys) the whole time and saving him

It'd be weird to make them out to be victims

The way I understood it was that is how his art was in real life too.

I still don't know why they decided to release it a few days before another movie with Carrell in it.

The marketing for it has just been all over the place. The trailers didn't do much to show what to movie was even about. Also I never would have guessed he was beat up because he liked to dress as a woman.

What I've read is that what is supposed to come off as emotional in this movie comes off as corny.

Just seems like a wreck

Extremely Loud and Up Close got bad reviews and still managed a Best Picture nomination, so anything's possible.

Keyword being 'nominated'. Even if this movie somehow manages to get nominated (which is doubtful), the odds of it actually winning are about zero.
