Preview: Splinterheads (2009)

Synopsis:

A romantic adventure following a loveable loser dealing with home-bound turmoil who falls for a con artist carnival carnie who takes him on a hiking geocaching adventure.

• Poster: C+

Review:

It's not an abysmal poster as it's not crass to the eyes, but it has very little to do with the film's subject as presented in the trailer. It might pick up a few people interested in seeing it, but not many.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

The story is interesting enough even if the execution seems sophomoric. Lea Thompson playing a mother only conjures up her work in Back to the Future

where she ended up playing herself as a mother.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• November 6, 2009
