I’ve been excited for this movie since I heard about the cast (expect plenty of TV spots for it between The Office + 30 Rock in the coming months), and, featuring two of my favourite comedians in terms of Carell & Fey, it’ll be difficult for me to be disappointed.
I can say that this is not at all the kind of film I expected, and it’ll likely be pretty formulaic, but I am there nonetheless.
Some scenes, much like many in last year’s Get Smart look waaaaaay too ‘video’ to me - Stu Maschwitz could explain exactly why in terms of shutter, etc., and I really wish certain DPs could get that figured out for low-light/kinetic situations as it cut’s the look of the budget by about 75%. Happened in District 9 once too, but that was a low-light, smoky, small location with a lot of stress on the production crew already. This is Steve Carell and Tina Fey in an alley.
Enjoy the trailer nonetheless, and let me know what you think
