• Poster: D

Review:

What a corny, unimaginative poster. I had to deduct a full third-letter grade just for the cheesy protective hand butler uses to shield the obviously photo-shopped tyke.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

If there's a cliche this film doesn't touch on in the trailer, I'd be surprised. The film looks ludicrous in terms of story and Butler looks unimaginative.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
