Ouch. The new Flicka trailer has hit the web… and I’ll try to sugar coat this as much as I can.. but this film looks HORRIBLE. I don’t know how else to say it. It seems to be based on the idea that if you throw every emotional cliche in there… then somehow it’ll turn out ok. it doesn’t work.
Not to mention, the producers take a sickingly obvious marketing move and put Tim McGraw (yes… the SINGER) in the lead male role in a horse and cowboy movie. McGraw didn’t do a bad job in his tiny role in Friday Night Lights… but I think he needs like 3 or 4 more of those types of roles to jump to a lead… and the Flicka trailer proves that point rather obviously.
