. . . otherwise it looked pretty good then?I thought the previews for their last move "Intolerable Cruelty" looked awful too, but the movie was quite enjoyable. Canb't wait to see it again and see if it has any legs like so many of their other movies do.

Thank you for the link..But this film look disastrous..Hanks imitating Guinness...This feels and sounds like " Sister Act " part one ..and two...
Thanks for the link.Gospel music makes me writhe with displeasure. But with a preview it's hard to judge the tone and sarcasm level involved. This is also true WRT the "Hippidy Hoppidy" stuff. I have to say that the musical part of "O Brother' is a large part of what I disliked about it, so the music in this does not bode well with me.
I have no stigma about this being a cover of the 50s british film. Let go of that baggage. I refuse to prejudge a movie because it's a remake even though most remakes are not as good as the original.
Hanks looks like he's having fun, something he sorely needs to do after a far too long run of straight roles.
Traditionally, Coens previews tend to suck. They key on, and bludgeon you with gag after gag when we all know that what makes their movies so good is that they are massively layered with subtlty and multiple meanings. Something that you can't even remotely brig to the audience in a 90 second preview.
The Coens get a free pass with me, regardless of WHAT the preview looks like.
