    I guess we'll find out "where they are going with some of the material", when it is released to theaters in 6 months.

    @themoviefanatic -- Well, Anne Hathaway for one. And I don't really understand where they are going with some of the material, nor do I like it(the football scene, for example).

    The only sad thing about this is that the trailer wasn't even that good. The result was expected, though.
