• Poster: C

Review:

Such a bizarre choice for a poster, the blank white background only exposes how limited the poster's design is, featuring the cast doing their best Beatlest impression with a large and silly modified street sign.

• Trailer: B

Review:

The first thing that caught my attention watching this trailer is just how much Emilio Estevez and his father Martin Sheen look alike. The resemblance is uncanny, which adds a certain poignancy to the story. While it doesn't appear to be Sheen's greatest work, there's a sweet familiarity to the trailer that makes it look like it might be a good DVD watch.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
