Preview: The Amateurs (2007)


Poster: C

Review:

Very rudimentary comedy poster. It takes a very hammy approach to fit all the characters onto the poster and thematically link it to the film without any visual flare.

Trailer: C-

Review:

The knockoffs of The Full Monty continue as a town decides to sponsore and shoot a porn film. If Calendar Girls wasn't a poor enough concept, this film will suffice.

Oscar Prospects:

Since The Full Monty, films like Calendar Girls and Kinky Boots have tried to take the small-town success story formula to the podium and failed utterly. The Amateurs should be no exception.

Release Date:

December 7, 2007

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
