TRAILER TUESDAY: THE A-TEAM Movie? It Is Funny as A Joke, Probably Not in Reality

THE A-TEAM
Opens June 11, 2010
**

When I first heard that Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper were going to be in this movie I was a little bit excited and thought maybe this movie could avoid the old-TV-show-movie-remake curse.

The trailer, however, suggests otherwise. The trailer itself is pretty poor -- that usually doesn't bode well for the movie.

The Director Joe Carnahan (Smoking Aces) is also suspect. His filmography is pretty light.

This movie probably makes my list because it came out of nowhere. I thought this movie would be fun, but I didn't expect it to be that fun.

The movie is buoyed by strong performances by a bunch of actors that have normally been supporting crew – Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers), Zach Galifianakis (Bored to Death) , and Ed Helms (The Daily Show, The Office).

Galifianakis had me at “lone wolf.”

Let's hope the forthcoming sequel can live up to the hype.
