Who I ask is going to go see this? I'm a member of that college-age-male demographic and none of my friends (yes I do have them) are excited about this movie. First off, think of your recent college-age-male movies that actually made money. Gladiator, MI:2, The Waterboy, etc. All these movies have something in common. The college-age-males could actually take their girlfriends/prospective girlfriends/mixed-gender cliques to see these movies. Now think of the bombs targeted at this audience: From Dusk 'til Dawn, Basic Instinct, etc. Notice the lack of ability to take women to see these flicks? Yeah, we college-age-males like movies with attractive women, blood and loud noises in them. But somebody is in for a rude awakening in that we are not going to go see 90mins of hot women performing stupid bar tricks. Lastly, a country bar in NY. From the trailer it appears the audience is actually made up of "Southerners" and not New Yorkers [perhaps this is a sly commentary on NY's senate campaign, but I doubt it]. Apparently, somebody thought that movie goers would buy a 9 million person Memphis set where NY, NJ, and the Atlantic converge.
The two reasons for this movie to exist are 1) bad market research or 2) somebody needed an excuse to can a director.
