• Poster: C+

Review:

There is so much here that's old hat and the color scheme is atrocious, but the facial expressions alone make it interesting.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Formulaic is the first word that should pop into your head watching this trailer. The life-traded concept has been overused, though the actors and producers promise the film will change things up (not to pardon the pun) and give us an R-rated version. We shall see.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• August 5, 2011
