Red Band Trailer for Broken Lizard's 'Slammin' Salmon'

DateWednesday, January 7, 2009 at 7:12PM
Maybe this isn't a sign of trouble, but I wasn't encouraged by my own reaction to the new Red Band trailer for Broken Lizard's The Slammin' Salmon. "Well at least Michael Clarke Duncan is funny," I said to myself, realizing how far down that is on my checklist of sentences I'd never gotten around to saying.

I don't get the Broken Lizard thing anymore. Liked a lot of things about Super Troopers, waded through Club Dread, barely endured Beerfest, and now we're facing this movie about the dysfunctional wait staff at a restaurant owned by a retired boxer (Duncan). Like a lot of movies that come out of sketch comedy troops, this probably would've made a great skit or even a series of sketches with the same characters, but that doesn't make it a movie.

And The Slammin' Salmon doesn't look like much of a movie.

The Slammin' Salmon will debut at Slamdance this month, hoping for a 2009 release.

The work of Jay Chandrasekhar can be so uneven...dude directed Dukes of Hazard, but was also involved in some very funny episodes of Arrested Development.

Also, I was confused when Beerfest came out, because it wasn't really marketed as a Broken Lizard affair, the way that Super Troopers and Club Dread were. Is this a return to that?

By the way refresh my memory...isn't Slamdance the film festival that runs alongside Sundance for all of the films that couldn't get in?

I admit, that looks like my type of movie.
