Still Waiting (Feb 17th, Straight to Video)

[imdb still waiting]It’s like when you hear someone yell, “I’m gonna puke,” and you look.  You knew what you were about to see; you didn’t really expect anything different.  If that wasn’t what you wanted to see, you simply should not have looked.  Yeah…that’s this trailer.  I don’t know what I was expecting from a trailer of the sequel to Waiting.  I guess this is about it.

 It is kind of sad because alongside some absolutely crummy actors, are some really good ones.  It’s cool to see Maggie Lawson (Juliet from “Psych”) getting a starring role, but a starring role in this is not saying much.  She may as well star in an American Pie sequel.  With her is Luis Guzman and John Michael Higgins, who are always brilliant to watch, in a worthwhile film.

I will say that the trailer knows who its audience is, and its caters to them…strictly to them.  It doesn’t attempt to reel in people who would not be interested in T & A and bodily fluid humor.  There is no bait and switch going on here.  The trailer says, “This is a gross crappy movie with lame jokes,” so if you rent the film thinking otherwise, you totally deserve what you get.  Thus, while this this trailer is putrid, especially since it thinks a major selling point of the film is a cameo by Adam Carollla, at least it’s honest.
