Hit & Run (January 8, 2013)

I picked up a copy today but i must say I find it a bit odd that one of the top movie stars currently working isn't advertised at all on the cover. I'd assume Universal would only benefit from Bradley Cooper's current "Star" to sway some extra sales their way. I mean not that Tom Arnold isn't gonna bring in a boat load of change anywhoo....:/

I find that odd too. Especially when I have a blu ray copy of Heavyweights that now has Ben Stiller photoshopped onto the original artwork.

I wondered that when I looked for the cover to put in my OP when I made this thread. Doesn't make sense since he was used heavily in promotion for the theatrical release.

Not positive in the least, but I still want to see this, so I'll be renting it.

I liked this one. Knowing all the backstory going in about how cooper and him are best friends, how all the vehicles in the movie are Shepards and he did all the driving, all the cameos are friends, it just felt like a group of buddies having a good time and that translated to the screen. Great movie? Nope. Pleasant time killer with fun cars? Sure. And sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for.

That's how I expect to feel about it after I finally watch it.

One question. I'm guessing Bradley Cooper isn't in it anywhere near as much as the trailer made it out to be since he's not even listed on the cover?

Give it a spin, I thought it was a good time.

Actually, Cooper is in the movie a lot. He doesn't show up for the first 30 or so, then he's got just as much screen time as anyone short of Dax and Bell. It's a big supporting character. Not sure why he's not on the cover. It's clear he did the part for free and the chance to play a dreadlocked white gangster for fun with his friends.

The trailers looked good, picked it up today and haven't watched it yet. I figure this is one of the times that the reviewer and I have different tastes in movies.

Hoping its as good as the trailers.
