Dude, have you seen the previews? It's like fuggin House Party 3 or something. Marlon Wayans is in it. And the Coen bros. decided to rip off 'Nothing to Lose' (Tim Robbins/Martin Lawrence turkey) for the penultimate gag in the trailer, where--oh man, have that needle and thread ready, 'cause your sides are about to split!--wherein an old black mom repeatedly slaps Marlon Wayans, saying something like "I don't want you using that hippedy-hoppedy language in my house".

HA! "Hippedy-hoppedy"!

For the entire preview I felt exactly nothing but irritation at the fact that the trailer for what looked like a straight-to-video film was complicating my line of sight, and then when, at the end, it said 'A Film by Joel and Ethan Coen,' I experienced an outrage more intense than was warranted, seeing as the Coens have been succumbing to Hollywood cynicism steadily since (and inclusive of) 'Fargo.' This, however, is a shameless piece of crap, a dictionary-definition 'new low,' unless their grand scheme is to give you the impression of a brick-dumb, broad-as-a-barnwall comedy when in fact it is whipsmart, sniper-accurate existential satire.

Oh, and Tom Hanks looks and sounds ridiculous.
