Fred Durst Is Rubber, We Are All Glue

I never thought I'd say this, but maybe Fred Durst isn't a total moron. If the Limp Bizkit frontman wanted to direct a mainstream movie that wouldn't be eviscerated by every thinking person with an internet connection, he really couldn't have done better than the heartwarming true story of a fatherless social outcast who becomes the first girl on her school's football team and leads them to the playoffs with the help of her uncle Ice Cube. The Longshots looks like the movie equivalent of a bomb-deflecting shield. How do we tear this to pieces, exactly?

Damn you, Durst. I mean, I'm not going to actually see the movie or anything crazy like that, but wow, that trailer is Teflon.

Seriously, with the trailer voice-over and everything, this whole movie could've actually been made in 1991 and nobody would be the wiser.
