Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Coming of age story about two inner city youths, who are left to fend for themselves over the summer after their mothers are taken away by the authorities.”

Poster: B+

Review: At first glance, this design seems like a myriad other poster designs, but looking at it in detail, the designer uses hue filters and simple unbalanced construction to make a visually appealing design that mostly capture’s the film’s framework.

Trailer: C

Review: This is a straightforward, unassuming trailer that highlights Jennifer Hudson’s contribution, but leaves her out of most of the trailer. Since the film is about Mister and Pete, I can’t say it’s a bad decision, but there isn’t much in the trailer to suggest a film we haven’t seen countless times before.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
