Yeah, it looks awful. Matthew McConaughey is really fucking up his career like its a pipe and a set of bongos.

But I saw the trailer during the previews for Match Point and it got a decent enough reaction from that audience.

The Family Stone definitely increased my "interest" in Rachel McAdams, reminded me that Claire Danes is still alive, gave me hope for the Craig T Nelson comeback to come full force, proved that Diane Keaton is a legend, illustrated that deaf homosexuals are a rare breed of movie characters, but really did make me think positively of SJP. I thought most of the ads featured her prominently too.

IMDB says: off a 17mil budget it made 59 mil.
