Trailer Watch: A Little Help

It may not be a great comedy, but the trailer sure gives that impression.

A Little Help

	Plot Summary: After the death of her husband, a young woman must come to terms with living her life and raising her son alone. Release Date: June 24, 2011
	Poster	Trailer
	Rating: C+ Commentary: The vulnerability works quite well, but the rest of the poster is so plain and unexciting that it diminishes the effect.	Rating: A- Commentary: I was not expecting such a delightful little trailer when I first read the premise. On the surface, this would look to be a common, unexceptional film mirroring a number of other films in the last twenty years, but Jenna Fischer’s natural comic ability enlivens the trailer and I can’t help but want to see what eventually transpires.

Oscar Chances: Comedy is seldom recognized by the Academy and releasing in the Summer will certainly mean Academy members will forget Fischer by Oscar time, but even a well-placed end-of-year release probably wouldn’t have worked considering their lack of enthusiasm towards television actors.
