| Is to comedy what The Village was to horror
Okay, I wasn't sure about this movie prior to going. I read the four or five reviews and they said it wasn't a comedy. Therefore, I expected it to be a thriller like they said.

Well, they weren't exactly correct. It is funny, and no, not all the humor is in the trailer. I agree, this is not just a comedy, it's a dramady (drama/comedy) But if you know that going in, you won't be as disappointed. It is similar to Barry Levinsons other comedies, funny but also has some deep drama.

This movie was advertised wrong, much like The Village. But it is still a good movie

Quotes

Tom Dobbs: If you tell a bad joke, you can put a laugh track over it - but the joke's still not funny.

Goofs

There would be no locations along any limited access highway in the Washington, DC area where one could park his car along the shoulder and use a payphone next to a lane of travel.
