Here’s the trailer for Men, Women, & Children. I’m really looking forward to this film, even if the trailer does bring to mind memories of last year’s terrible Disconnect. I’m an unapologetic fan of director Jason Reitman and it seems like, as opposed to his previous film Labor Day, this is material that should be perfect for Reitman’s style.
Believe it or not, Adam Sandler has gotten some dark horse Oscar buzz for his performance here. Personally, on the basis of films like Funny People, Punch-Drunk Love, and Reign Over Me, I think that Sandler has it in him to be a far better actor than most people want to admit. He just needs the right director. Considering that he’s gotten career-best work out of everyone from George Clooney to Jason Bateman to Charlize Theron to Patton Oswalt, Reitman could very well be that director.
