Preview: Micmacs (2010)

Synopsis:

A group of misfits put together a plan to destroy two large weapons manufacturers.

• Poster: B-

Review:

It isn't as detailed as it could have been, but that also means it isn't as cluttered. Still, the poster won't likely draw many in.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

The title isn't terribly catching, especially when the term will be unfamiliar to most U.S. audiences. The imagery and colors are distracting enough to perhaps draw in a few viewers. Those who loved Amélie may be a good audience to pull from.

Oscar Prospects:

Jean-Pierre Jeunet may have another strong Oscar contender on his hands to follow up Amélie, but a lot depends on Sony Pictures Classics.

Release Date:

• May 28, 2010
