Movies with misleading previews
 

I recently watched Man of the Year starring Robin Williams and it ended up being much different than the previews would have lead you to believe. I expected a comedy (obv) and while it had funny parts it wasn't a comedy, and its main plot wasn't even really shown in the previews at all.

What are some other movies like this?

The winner of this, ignoring anything to do with the quality of the movie, is Executive Decision . Steven Seagal was ALL OVER the previews, and they were easily trying to pawn it off as a Seagal film. He dies in the first ten minutes, without a single cork screw or kitchen knife to anyone's forehead.

Snakes on a Plane had the least misleading preview.

Wow this is always my answer when questions like this come up.

He died and I was like WTF?

Thought it was cool cause I didn't see it coming at all. They should do that a lot more.

I really enjoyed the movie but I didn't know Pan's Labyrinth was so focused on the civil war. I thought it was more of a sci-fiction/fantasy type of movie.

By far the best line in Neighbors, the great Belushi/Ackroyd movie(and novel by John Berger) was only in the previews. Every one was terrifically disappointed it didn't make it into the movie. Extremely bizarre.

Not at all. No idea why you would say this.
