Preview: Shrink (2009)

Synopsis:

A celebrity shrink discovers his own live is spiraling out of control while he's focused on helping his clients.

• Poster: C

Review:

My feelings towards this poster are rather ambivilent. It's neither great, nor awful. It just feels somewhere in between. While I can understand the entire concept by the poster, it doesn't engage me emotionally or mentally.

• Trailer: C

Review:

Although this is a different kind of Kevin Spacey than we've seen in his recent big-ego features, there's still enough smugness there that, perhaps it serves the character, but mostly it just irritates and the entire premise doesn't seem all that exciting.

Oscar Prospects:

I doubt this late-July release is going to be much on the Academy's radar.
