Preview: Barney's Version (2011)

Synopsis:

In his own words and images, Barney tells his sordid life's story.

• Poster: C-

Review:

Generic, boring and uneventful. You don't get a real understanding about the film's subject. Plus, the fact that Dustin Hoffman is speaking, yet this is Barney's version (Paul Giamatti), it's further misleading.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

There are some elements that look modestly entertaining, but the trailer is constructed so generically that it's almost impossible to believe it could be that good.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• January 14, 2011
