Review:

Not using Julia Roberts' image is probably a mistake. Although I applaud the decision to try to focus on the words of the title and their relationship to the story, it's a poor choice not to include someone who could easily draw more people to the theater.

This second trailer is far more adept at explaining the plot and purpose of the film. It doesn't necessarily make the film any better, but it does give audiences more to grasp onto when deciding whether to see the film or not.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

This looks a bit like Julie & Julia; How appropriate is it that Julia Roberts stars. The concept seems like it might be stretched a bit thin for a feature length film, but it could have some very involving elements.

Oscar Prospects:

Some might tout Julia Roberts for a nomination, but an August release is probably not going to help her.

Release Date:
