Finally, someone asking the TOUGH QUESTIONS. On the one hand, you’ve got the Life As We Know It poster, in which we are reminded that men are actually giant babies, except instead of pooping in diapers, they poop in their underwear, and instead of drinking milk from a bottle, they drink beer from a bottle. Hahahaha, just like a baby! “Pay your rent, baby!” And also: “The fact that there are times in which the looming pressures and sacrifices of fatherhood sometimes makes you uncomfortable allows me to condescendingly reduce and compare you to the functional capacity of an infant, despite the fact that you have a job, dress yourself, and don’t put your face on oven burners if someone’s not watching you.” Nonsense. And congratulations to Katherine Heigl for continuing to stand up to Hollywood’s Boys Club with yet another powerful, three-dimensional female character, I’m sure.
On the other hand, you’ve got From Prada to Nada, which features a young woman holding a cardboard sign JUST LIKE A HOMELESS PERSON WOULD, except instead of the cardboard sign featuring a request for desperately-needed aid due to a lifetime of mental illness and systemic socio-economic repression, it just says “Will Work for Shoes.” It simultaneously makes a mockery of the very real problem of poverty, while also portraying women as shallow, materialistic shitheads. “One adult ticket to this movie that appeals to me, please.” That’s what you say, probably.
So? Which will it be? They are both very awful! CALL IT, REFS!

They should have stuck with the original title “From Gucci to Hoochie”.
or from La Croix to La Crap
From Michael Kors to living outdoors
‘From Oscar De La Renta to cockroach polenta’
‘From Kate Spade bags to cleaning stranger’s windsheilds with rags’
…ok i’m done.
From McQueen to McNuggets…
From rich asshole to underpass hole?
From Dolce & Gabbana to “Fifty Dolla, make you holla.”
From Home Depot to Home-LESS Depot

Plagarist commentator!
I’m surprised no one came up with “From Ho to Homeless” yet.
From Donna Karen to cardboard box sharin’
From Kate Spade to La Quinta maid
From Ralph Lauren to dried-up has been

“Okay! Thanks for your time! I’ll look forward to hearing from you!” — teacherman
all these are great….but From Prada to Nada is still the worst.
From Vera Wang to Blowin’ Wan..nope, sorry…
Good to see Katherine Heigl is still taking on empowering roles!
…which is exactly what Gabe said, so….Josh Duhamel more like Josh Dulame-oh!
SAVED IT.
*gunshot*

Sofie’s Choice all over again.
Are there CARS coming out of that purse?
Raped by Satan is starting to look really appealing.

upvotes x infinity
as a graphic designer, i am offended by both posters.
As a human person, I am offended by both posters.
As a person with very little human emotion, I am offended by both of these posters.
To the dilemma:
I tried very hard to upvote your comment. But my finger slipped. And “I made a huge mistake”.
I offer this post as a peace offering for the Videogum democracy to downvote at will. I hope that you will get multiple upvotes to make up for my fat fingers.
Condolences,

You have to be impressed by the genius who Photoshopped out the “Prada” for “Nada” on that handbag.
Skillz!
It stands for “please don’t sue us”.
At least everything is terrible? Wait, that is actually not very comforting, after all.
Everything is Terrible is a rad blog
I nominate Steve to write Teen Korner from now on.

The worst part of the Life as We Know It poster is the part where it says “Josh Duhamel.”
I would say the worst part is where it says that it’s a comedy
From Prada to Nada is a gritty crime drama though.
I’d submit that while maybe not the worst part, a disturbing part is that someone put their 1 year old (2? I have no concept of children’s ages) child who has no way of defending their self in something as terrible as this. Involuntary claim to shame.
but thankfully we now officially have an integrity scale for baby modeling:
Life as we know it: 0 Nirvana’s Nevermind: 10
Fun Fakt: Apparently the baby on the cover of Nevermind is now a college kid who is kind of a douche and reminds people at every turn that he was that baby. Also, his penis has stayed the same size [I'm assuming.]
i now suddenly understand what natalie imbruglia is singing about….i’m truly torn.
And that’s what’s going on with me, too!
I’m all out of faith. This is how I feel.
From Faith to Nada.
I’m just cold and ashamed, lying naked on the floor. Typical Tuesday morning!
I do not know who Camilla Belle and Alexa Vega are, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing most designer clothes (because no one stuffs desiger clothes on a dead body dummies), and From Prada to Nada looks overall slightly more terrible. At least in Life as we Barf it I get to look at pretty people who I have heard of.
Alexa Vega was in Sky Kids, the greatest film of our time. SHOW SOME RESPECT.
also, Spy Kids. Sky Kids would be so much better; double rainbows, LSD, floating, Alexa Vega. It is a natural progression of cinema.
In my mind, Sky Kids is a cross between Spy Kids and Sky High, which happen to be my TWO FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME.
camilla belle was in ‘the ballad of jack and rose’ with daniel day lewis. they had a very creepy father/daughter relationship from what i can remember.
it wasn’t the best film, but if you go from working with day-lewis to this, i’d say you are headed in the wrong direction.
Camilla Belle is pretty
Camilla Belle was in straight-to-video POISON IVY 2. That is all.
Hello netflix
Was that the one where Drew Barrymore got naked? Or Alyssa Milano? Or Jaime Pressley? It’s hard to keep track of the low points of different actresses careers.
Alyssa Milano. Also in Embrace of the Vampire you can see a REALLY bad boob job that Alyssa Milano had. Kind of a turn off in my book frankly
Camilla Belle is Joe Jonas’s ex-girlfriend DUHHHHHHHHHHH
also Camilla Belle: the girls who gets eaten by the ittybittysaurs at the beginning of Jurassic Park 2
the moar you know!
not to mention that i’m pretty sure that the From Prada to Nada poster just removed the dog from the Beverly Hills Chihuahua poster and put two girls there.
….and we all know that 2 Prada 2 Nada [sequel in development] is soon to follow.
Life As We Know It is worse, because there’s potential for the shoe-girls to discuss things together that aren’t dudes! Not that that makes them better humans, but if teens are going to leave the corner to see a movie, better they see one that passes the Bechdel Test, however minimally, than some horrible “dudes are overgrown children, women are unbearable shrews” rehash.
Besides, what if they Learn an Important Lesson About Poverty From Actual Poor People? They might see wacky homeless ladies wearing their fashions! That’d take them down a peg! Oh god why do I have so many thoughts about this.
I’m gonna say “From Prada to Nada” is the worst.
No hom(eless)o
I agree. Christina Hendricks is in “Life As We Know It,” so “From Prada to Nada” wins worst poster by default.
the one on the left is worst-er because heigl is in it. i think the two ladies on the right are likely too young to know any better. they’re just baby ladies, yall. they get a pass … for now.
I don’t know who any of the people in “From Prada to Nada” are, but I hate Kathryn Hitler, so I’m voting for “Life as we know it”.
Heigl is the worst, we can all agree on that, but is it Hitler-worst? Heigl is like rape, but Hitler is like rape-rape.
Flawless metaphor!
Shit, I meant simile! I MEANT SIMILE
Can’t they both be the worst? Becuase they are.
There can only be one Highlander.
…or in this case Lowlander.

Still the only good Batman movie. Remember the exploding shark? Bat Shark repellent spray.
I will concede that Cesar Romero’s Joker is absolute poetry in motion, but the best of the films? Come on. Did you hear any Prince on that soundtrack?
“I don’t think so.” – Kevin McCallister.
No Prince = Automatic Oscar Academy Award Candidate and some Nobel Prizes.
Yeah I’m gonna go with the shoes movie being the worst, just because at least the other gives us the pleasure of laughing at the hideous and uncanny airbrush job on Duhamel’s abdominalz.
(“Abduhamels”)
Anyone who would see either of these movies is the worst. I’m glad they will get all the bedbugs as a reward: http://gothamist.com/2010/08/16/bedbugs_love_amc_empire_25_hate_rep.php
Didn’t think Camilla Belle could top this:
guess I was wrong. #Disneychannelgum
Aw, that looks adorable. Watching Disney stars grow up these days is terrifying. They all have to top each other, so I guess iCarly will be pole-dancing at the Adult Entertainment awards in a few years.
Excuse you, iCarly is a NickTeen show. Get it straight.
Well, Katherine Heigl has yet to top this Disney Channel movie.
I think maybe she has:
I love that the only good thing USA Today has to say for this movie is about it’s timing.
I bet “the lighting was really neat!” too.
And the other positive review was from the British Medical Journal.
I’m calling it. Life as we Know It. Reason: Duhamel and the baby are in undies / diapers and wearing shoes. That means they made a conscious effort to look like that.
Especially that baby. Babies should know better.
You hear that, Notsewfast? Speak to your brethren about your wardrobe choices!
Gabe, in all seriousness, how would YOU re-design these posters to make them more to your liking, princess?
I decided to upvote you so you could feel a brief sense of accomplishment before you get your face torn off for this comment. You’re welcome!
I am going with Prada to Nada. For starters it is clearly a worse concept for a movie. Additionally, Christina Hendricks is in Life as We Know It, and lets all be (not be) adults…. how does she stand without falling over.
Why do I feel like the title for “From Prada to Nada” came before the idea or the plot or the anything? Rhymes equal movies now. Facts of life.
It’s true! It was only pitched at 11:30 this morning, but, according to IMDB, “From Oscar de la Renta to Cockroach Polenta” is already in pre-production.
Hahaha — you didn’t say ‘suicide is not an option,’ so BANG!
Shyamalan twist: the Bing banner is the worst. You’re being inappropriate Bing.
Agreed. There are (sort of) children present!
The AltaVista banner was superior.
SPOILERS: reading the plots makes the decision even harder
Life as We Know It: “Two single adults (Heigl and Duhamel) become caregivers to an orphaned girl when their mutual best friends die in a car accident.” (Also, Hendricks plays the mom, so we wouldn’t even see much of her)
vs.
From Prada to Nada: “A Latina spin on Jane Austen’s “Sense and Sensibility,” where two spoiled sisters who have been left penniless after their father’s sudden death are forced to move in with their estranged aunt in East Los Angeles.”
“TWO WINNERS”
Armond White (1950 – 2012)
Diaper Movie looks like it involves bowel movement midwifery, judging from the poster, so I will choose Ladies Be Shoppin’ The Motion Picture.
This comment thread is great! I don’t think it gets said enough so I’m going to say it: I love you guys. There. I said it. #monsterunity
“Men are actually giant babies, except instead of pooping in diapers, they poop in their underwear.”
Except not in Josh Duhamel’s case, as Katherine Hegel willingly follows him around and catches it in her hands.
Very important question: would you or would you not allow KH to do this for you?
Very important follow up question: would you pay for it?
