COMING SOON: Notes on a couple of trailers

Got my first look yesterday at the trailer for AMELIA, the new Amelia Earhart biopic. Toothy two time Oscar winner Hilary Swank stars as the famed aviatrix who vanished over the Pacific in 1937 while attempting to fly around the world.
From the brief clips of dialogue available it sounds like Swank is channelling Katharine Hepburn but without the head tremor.
If a trailer is intended to whet our appetite for a forthcoming attraction, prompting us to turn to our companion and whisper "I want to see this one" then the people responsible for the promo for COUPLES RETREAT should be fired.
Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Justin Bateman, Kristin Davis and Jean Reno star in what looks to be this summer's biggest cinematic turd - and it's not even a polished one.
