Hey kids! Do you want to hear the “F” word? Do you want to see bras and drinking? Well, you’re in luck! The new Adventureland red band trailer has an unusual marketing gimmick: making sure the viewer knows, under no uncertain terms, that this movie is naughty and not something your parents would want you to see. They even explain what “red band” means:

That last line doesn’t even make sense except to be “look at me, I’m gross.” But I guess “look at this movie, it’s gross” is the marketing plan. And I will admit that despite the fact that it still uses teen-movie-trailer-cliche “Blister In The Sun,” I do want to see this movie more now than I did when I saw the regular trailer. But not because I want to see bras.

    Kristen Stewart is the absolute worst.

  2. I don’t know, I kinda don’t wanna see it just cause of that trailer. Maybe I’m not the target audience.

    I have seen the movie. it’s quite a bit different than the trailer indicates — closer to Mottola’s first film, Daytrippers, than to Superbad in many ways. The marketing is pretty lame but I suppose the bean counters want their money back.

    The Squid and the Fail

  5. straight to dvd.

  6. Who is this kid trying to steal Michael Cera’s roles?

  7. Couldn’t get Cera, so they settled for alternate nerd icon Bill Haverchuck. Cool choice.

  8. That’s one big, resounding “MEH.”

    wow, the curly haired dude in the movie looks just like this guy I had a crush on only uglier. I might see it to remind me of the time my crush sort of stabbed my heart or I’ll see it because of bill hader.

    Yes, unambiguous fail. But nothing to do with Blister in the Sun. Watch your mouth.
