Looks a bit hit and miss.

Liked the last gag though.

Thanks.

Surely you don't still watch trailers from the official sites? I don't bother until it appears on Dave's Trailer page. Here we are:

* 480P (35Mb) - http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist. ... =web&pt=rd
* HD 720P (93.5Mb) - http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist. ... =web&pt=rd
* HD 1080P (127Mb) - http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist. ... =web&pt=rd

Left click on and download as usual or right click and "Save Target As", giving it your own name.

Oh yeah, surely! How could we be so stupid? :lol:

But thanks for the direct links. Will check one of 'em.

I found the trailer at Quicktime.

I just find it better to download them first then play them back, you can view them full screen then too.

I don't much like the look of the film.

Looks shite min. I did not find the trailer funny at all.

Shame as I quite like David Koechner.

It's coz almost all the clips in that trailer are spoofing the glut of "based on a true story" sports films that have hit American cinemas this decade. (Think: Remembering the Titans, The Rookie, Friday Night Lights, Radio, Coach Carter, Invincible, Gridiron Gang, etc) And of course, only a handful of them are well known over here.

Spoofing Dodgeball seems a bit strange though, that was already a parody of sports movies to begin with!

Most of that genre suck IMO.

I can't stand most overly patriotic films (it works in Rocky for instance), of which the American studios usually cannot help themselves releasing, so Yanks can feel that wee bit better about themselves, in the opinion their nation is the best in the world.

Please. I've no problem with people thinking their country is the best but I don't need it rammed down my throat.

Okayyyy, how many of the titles I listed above have you actually watched? List them.

None but I did say genre not specific examples. I've only heard of three of them "Remembering the Titans, The Rookie, Coach Carter".
