Preview: Patrik, Age 1.5 (2010)

Synopsis:

Desperate to adopt a child, a gay couple find themselves taking care of a 15-year-old delinquent after a paperwork mistake.

• Poster: B

Review:

The sly grin on the 1.5-year-old's face is what makes this poster so much more interesting than similarly-styled ones. While I'm not a fan of the split screen poster design, this one pairs humorous images with a smooth color palette.

• Trailer: B

Review:

An amusing plot should help make this a small success. Critic support may make it a bigger one. The trailer's not too brash or condescending, it remains light and filled with potential.

Oscar Prospects:

It won't be an Oscar contender, but it would be intriguing if it were.
