A parody that's actually a dead-on critique of Hollywood marketing

Like The Shining? Like seeing clever digs at Hollywood marketing? Check this out.

While on the surface this is just another joke, it's actually a clever hit on Hollywood trailers/marketing distorting a movie's true qualities (or lack thereof) and "softening" ANY movie into a feelgood date movie.

One of the worst I've seen was "In Search of Winn-Dixie" Trailers showed cute kid, cute dog, funny antics. What you got was a dark trek through different characters alcoholism and victimhood.

The only "cute" parts were the entirety of the commercial.

That was cute.

Wow, the trailers for "Because of Winn Dixie" make it look like this sunny kiddie flick. You remind me of the movie Radio Flier, which was a movie about child abuse that had to be partly reshot to make something releasable out of it, and it too was marketed as a kiddie flick.
