I was gonna say it was enough sad to know that this is the last we’ll see of Gandolfini, but this looks like it could be really funny and sweet and honest. So that’s good. A good funny movie to go out on.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if women protagonists had the opportunity to keep jumping back in time until they could get their lives just the way they want them? Ah, but that would require a movie with a female protagonist…

We’re the Millers greenband and redband trailers: a lesson in the MPAA’s twisted priorities

Before you watch the redband trailer, can you guess what extra bits to be found there will be deemed too naughty for tender eyes and ears?

About Time trailer: Rachel McAdams is the time traveler’s girlfriend

Really? Time-travel as a comedic dodge for manipulating women into thinking that you’re not a complete idiot?
