Cannes Film Festival 2013

Trailer Grades: 'No Strings Attached' 'Big Momma 3,' 'Gulliver's Travels" and 'Sucker Punch'

Which trailers make the grade?

Gulliver's Travels

Gulliver's Travels

Lowdown: Jack Black stars in the revamp of the Jonathan Swift parody novel that was first published in 1726, and has never been out of print since. Given that the story is so beloved by the world, someone obviously had to make a modern day Jack Black comedy out of it.


Grade: D
Is it me or does this trailer feel longer than the movie itself? It appears to show us highlights from at least two out of the three acts of the plot and perhaps more. I'm a fan of everyone involved, but doesn't everything seem just a tad too clean? I mean for a kids movie there should be at least one fart joke or crotch-injury in the trailer.

  • A "B" for Big Momma? You've gotta be kidding. Dear God in Heaven that looks like absolute torture to sit through. I've always wondered about movies like this -- don't they realize NOBODY would really think Martin Lawrence is really an old woman? At least in Tootsie you really believe people would be fooled by Dustin Hoffman pretending to be a woman.
