Never saw this posted, but I saw Thunder Road last night. Trailer is awesome, movie is awesome, but holy smokes do they not match tonally at all. I was wondering how it could possibly be a comedy; they basically edited all the funny bits out for the trailer, like when someone edits The Shining to look like a sappy family drama.

I suspect that was intentional, it's based on a short that is basically the prologue and the first movie by the director/writer/star. It is great!

edit: his name is Jim Cummings, the youtube acct that posted the linked trailer is his.

Yeah I just don't understand why. My wife didn't want to go see it because she thought she'd cry too much. She never cried, but I ended up snorting embarrassingly loudly from laughter. One of the funniest bits in the movie is in the trailer, but they just cut the punchline so it looks dramatic.

Don't get me wrong, I loving loved it and so did my wife. Everyone should see it if they can, and then come back and tell me why the trailer was so tonally different.

Now I understand what you are saying, when I first saw the trailer there was no way I was going to watch the movie and then a friend I usually trust recommend it. My guess is to generate buzz just like this.
