Sorry, Breaking Point, But This Is Not A Movie Trailer

Uh, sorry, Breaking Point, but that's not a movie trailer. That is just a random and poorly put together jumble of unconnected scenes that provide the viewer with little-to-no-sense whatsoever of what happens in your movie. If it even is a movie. How would anyone know? I feel bad telling you this, because it seems like you probably spent at least seven minutes picking random moments from your movie (if it is a movie, I'm really giving you the benefit of the doubt on that one) to edit together (by hand? On a Walkman?) into what you thought was a movie trailer. But it's not a movie trailer. And it's best to be honest about these things. Better luck next time!

Thought this was going to be a "so bad it's good" kind of movie trailer. Was waiting for Busta to say, "You are crushing MEEEEEE like a cheese sandwich," to Tom Berenger. But that didn't happen, so I don't think this movie will make lot of moneys.

0:55-0:58 is probably some of the worst acting I've ever seen in a trailer.

It's like Mad Men's vague, pointless previews for next week's show.
"Hello?" "You are ruining things!" "I take my tea with lemon." "What are we going to do?" "Harry Crane?" MAD MEN.

When Gabe started in about how this trailer makes no sense, i thought we were playing the truthful-but-hyperbolic game about how bad everything is, and i was all "well, i'm sure it's going to make a little sense." But it doesn't, you know? No sense.

Further proof that it is pointless to extend the best picture category to ten. If anything they could have shrunken it, because this movie is the runaway favorite for Best Picture!

You could probably start a pretty entertaining best new party game just by listing the titles of movies that were made for black people. Breaking Point definitely meets that criteria.

This pretty much look like Tyler Perry's After Last Season... which is surprisingly relevant to my interests.

I don't know why I expected to see Chef Paul Prud'homme somewhere in this mishmash, but it would have worked.

I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I would watch any movie starring Busta Rhymes. Sticky Fingaz is just an added bonus.

Why does Busta Rhymes look so much like Tracy Morgan? Especially at the end.

Not like his career was doing so hot anyways but poor Tom Berenger for having to be on this poster.

Three things learned in this trailer:
1) Nobody owns Busta Rhymes
2) Armand Assante has failed. At Everything.
3) Busta Rhymes will steal your fucking baby.

So, as far as I can guess, this movie is about two things:
1) Busta Rhymes as an aspiring, though sadly impotent, father.
2) The wackiest summertimes adventure this side of Transformers 2.
