It's ridiculous to review a movie based on the trailer. The movie may,
in fact, turn out to be a disappointing comedy. But you cannot judge it
based on 2 minutes of footage assembled by a marketing team.

Absolutely agree. I'm sure we've all seen multiple trailers for the
same movie, each one focusing on a different aspect of the film. For
example, with "Breaking Dawn Pt. 1" there were trailers focusing on
Edward and Bella's wedding, while another was about Jacob's clash with
his pack and his concern for the pregnant Bella's health. And there have
been spots for family-oriented comedies, some that featured the
slapstick elements, and others that focused on the moments of warmth and
tenderness instead. Same film, different perspective.

I think the DS trailer showed a great balance. To dismiss the film as
nothing more thnn a comedy based on the trailer means they must have
missed the first half of the clip entirely, which clearly showed the
romance between Barnabas and Josette, and his torment over being turned
into a vampire by the vengeful Angelique.

Question: Do we know yet if what they're supposed to be showing during
tomorrow night's "Once Upon A TIme" is the same trailer again, or some
new clips?
