Available on DVD February 17th!

From the author of Fight Club... A wickedly colorful dark comedy about mothers and sons, sexual compulsion, and the sordid underbelly of colonial theme parks. Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell), a sex-addicted med-school dropout, who keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida (Anjelica Huston), in an expensive private medical hospital by working days as a historical reenactor at a colonial-era theme park.

I don't want to watch this, it'll ruin my view of the book.

[FlashFire20]

Yeah, this is not how I imagined the movie at all. The book had a really dark tone overall, with occasional bursts of dark humor and dry wit. This trailer (and the music) makes it look like a romantic comedy.

Thank gawd I didn't watch this crap before I read the book.....

@Pentdad absolutely true. fight club was guilty of this too. it was sort of marketed as a movie about a bunch of guys with nice abs beating the shit out of each other.

[MrEdLoop]

@Pentdad Whoa. Seriously vicious remarks.

I like 'em.

[Suiciniv]

this movie just shits.

@Karateworm Man, dont, the book is amazing

[Pentdad]

Trailors are designed to get as many people into the flicker show as possible. Readers of the book will go see it, so why not have all the brainless masses follow suit thinking it is an off the wall romcom. As they slobber popcorn and cheese down their bellies, maybe they will actually find a better taste in cinema. Or maybe they will wobble off and watch CGI Movie 3 or Adam Sandler 4.

@FlashFire20- How about you watch the movie. It's hardly a comedy. Or romantic.

@Karateworm

Though it apprently changes elements from the book (I havent seen it), Chuck Palahniuk liked and actually supported the departures from the book. Plus Sam Rockwell is an amazing actor.

@FlashFire20

While I havent seen the movie, it should be noted that trailers can be misleading and the producers of te movie have called it a dark comedy. Though it apparently differentiates from the book, Chuck Palahniuk has stated that he enjoyed it

@FlashFire20 yea man it looks like a dumb romantic comedy =/
