Movies with misleading previews

I think the main reason this movie caught so much criticism is because people were expecting to go in and see a horror film, which it wasn't at all. If the expectation had been set differently, I think this movie would have been much more popular. Personally, I loved it.

CLOSER is the easy winner. This was touted as a racy pic in which Natalie Portman showed her tatas. This is what a female friend told me. SHE DOES NOT SHOW HER TATAS. I was horrendously disappointed. "Closer" was like the modern version of the holocaust, or the trail of tears. Many indians died because Natalie Portman did not show teh boobiez in that stupid movie.

Well, to be fair, she does stick her gorgeous ass into the camera for about 10 minutes, covered only by dental floss.

But I'm an ass man, so whatev.

I'll vote for Phantom Menace as most misleading, because I had a hard-on for 12 straight days after I saw the trailer, and then it was bleecccchhh.

You, Me and Dupree was supposed to be funny and it wasn't.

This preview was better than the movie.

I'll have to hit Youtube to confirm, but I would suspect that most Robin Williams/Jim Carrey "dramas", like "Patch Adams" and "The Truman Show" fall into this category.

Per my note above, IIRC, the trailer/commercials for "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" played up the comedy angle big-time.

Jarhead - for making it seem like a war movie, rather than a movie focused on what war is actually like.

Grindhouse - for only showing scenes from Planet Terror and not Deathproof.. which is basically an hour and a half of girls sitting at a table talking.

2nd hand, "the family stone" had pretty misleading previews

Knocked Up

no where in the preview does it let on that you will be seeing a preggo vagine with a baby head poking out

Im not sure if anyone saw Wicker Park but the preview was for a totally different movie im sure.

You, Me And Dupree also very misleading.
