Scary Movie V (2013)
5/10
Much of the trailer is missing from the actual movie!
2 May 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This should be a red warning flag, as I cannot recall a single instance in which a movie's trailer was so irrelevant that the Hollywood producers decided to leave a lot of it on the floor for the final cut of the film result in a flick meriting even a score of "6" on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is "great" and 1 is "abysmal." At least three gags from the theatrical preview are omitted from the finished product, including the ghost buster guy punching the homeowner in the face and Charlie Sheen getting crotch-doored three times. After seeing these scenes again and again and again ad nauseum before OTHER shows at the theater, and wondering how they will fit into the context of the actual movie, it leaves the paying customer feeling that a random hodgepodge of garbage has been foisted upon them, and that the whole advertising campaign has been ONE BIG LIE. If the MPAA were a legitimate concern (instead of being the mouthpiece of the Roman Catholic church, as proved in the documentary THIS MOVIE IS NOT YET RATED), such deceptive marketing WOULD BE BANNED!!
