Preview: Spoken Word (2010)

Synopsis:

A successful beat poet returns home to attend to his ailing father who wants him to discover who he really is and not who he thinks he is.

• Poster: C

Review:

Far too much open space on this poster. While busy can be a bad thing, sometimes minimal can be just as irritating. I've seen several posters that look very similar to this, so there's an intense lack of originality.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

It might not be nearly as bad as I expect it to be. The trailer is constructed like every other family drama trailer I think I've seen. It breaks no new ground and sticks too often to the particulars of the film and not enough towards introspection.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• June 23, 2010
