Yikes, this looks awful


It looks like the lowest common denominator of humor. Melissa McCarthy can be funny with the right material (I loved Spy, for instance,) but this just looks like garbage. They showed the trailer today during Hail Caesar and no one was laughing.

I agree with you completely. This movie looks bad.

Her husband wrote and directed this and "Tammy". I never saw Tammy. I guess it was successful enough to let her try again.

Nobody laughed either when the trailer played before The Big Short. Looks like this is going to be a dud for McCarthy

reply

I saw this at a preview and actually loved it. It was hilarious but also sweet

I don't see how Melissa McCarthy can get top billing over Kristen Bell.

reply

Bell isn't that marketable, what movies has she starred in?

The trailer looks awful. I've seen it a dozen times on Youtube so far, and cringed every single time. I'd rather watch the commercial for plaque psoriasis medicine!

Yeah. I've seen the trailer a couple times in the theaters now, and nobody has laughed. If anything, people were cringing.

I'd honestly love to see the Sausage Party trailer on the big screen to see people's reactions to it. For people who didn't know what it was beforehand, I think it would be hilarious to see how they react!

Melissa McCarthy falling off the bike was funny? Uh, okay.
