What's Your Number Trailer: Another Demonstration of the Power of Romantic Comedies to Suck All of the Talent Out of Their Casts

The upcoming Anna Faris romantic comedy, What’s Your Number, has everyone in it. No, seriously. I think the director gave his assistant and SAG directory, and when the assistant asked, “Who do you want me to get?” the director just said, “All of them.”

Look at all these people that we (mostly) like contained herein: Chris Pratt, Aziz Ansari, Thomas Lennon, Joel McHale, Zachary Quinto, Andy Samberg, Anthony Mackie, and Eliza Coupe.

And it still looks like a smashed turd clinging to the bottom of a shit-boot. Talent clearly means diddly-peep when it’s confined by the parameters of a shitty romantic comedy. Wanna hear the premise? Or would you like to shoot yourself in the head first? It’s about a woman who hears an old wives’ tale that, if you date 20 men and still aren’t married, you’ll never get married. So, Farris — who has apparently already hit her number — has to go back and track down all those men to find a suitable husband. Chris Evans helps her in this endeavor.

Who will she ever end up with?

What’s Your Number? comes from television director Mark Mylod, who I hope chokes to death on a Skittle. Choke on the rainbow, asshole.

"Choke on the rainbow, asshole."

That made my morning. Thank you, Mr. Rowles.

I thought this already came out. No? Why does it sound so familar then?

Wow.

Spectacularly bad.

I love love love Anna Faris. Why can't she ever be in a movie worth watching?

Is it me or does this trailer have the same annoying whiny voice sound track that the trailer on TK's post has?

You are fully intent on making me want to jump off a bridge today, aren't you, Rowles? First the other thing with the indistinguishable girl actors, now this? You had to know I was going to wind up watching both of these. I think you did this on purpose.

Oh, see, ok, that other one was TK. I already know he hates me (on account of how he hates EVERYBODY, no exceptions), but gosh, Dustin, I thought we had a nice little thing going on here.

APPARENTLY, I was mistaken. The two of you are in cahoots, aren't you? I KNOW THERE IS CAHOOTING GOING ON.

F*ck this movie!

Maybe TK and Dustin are planning a Cahootenanny

"Choke on the rainbow, asshole."

I'm stealing that. I must remember to try using it in casual conversation when the topic swerves into politics.

This movie doesn't so much remind me of a squashed turd, but of cat vomit embedded in the tread of my work boots (my dear kitty has an annoying tendency to hawk up something that is the same color as the carpet).

WOW I WONDER WHO SHE PICKS.

Anna Faris needs to get smart quick.

Am I gonna have to ask again?

"Can you believe that church in Kentucky that says they won't sign marriage licenses for until gay couples have the right to marry too? How dumb is that?"

"You know what? Why don't you just choke on a rainbow asshole!"

Oh yeah. Someone just try to tell me Prop 8 was a good idea now.

I love Anna Faris and Chris Evans is hot so I will watch just for those reasons. Surely, this is better than that one movie with Anna and Ryan Reynolds and it has to be better than ANYTHING with Katherine Higel, yes?

Well, I don't know if they are, but I am. Now.

There is no such thing as a GOOD romantic comedy so what do you expect? You can put all the talented people in the movie you want and it will still suck because it's a romantic comedy. Romcoms are for girls who like unicorns because a good romcom doesn't exist either.

THAT'S Chris Evans? I didn't recognize him in all the Captain America stuff. Which I just now realized I have less hope for than I originally did.

I think I would only watch this if Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman) and Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) had some scenes together. AND ONLY THOSE SCENES!! But, alas, they don't so I won't watch this movie or anything related.

Anna Faris...you're dead to me--well, deader.

I had the misfortune of seeing this trailer in the theater yesterday, and apart from the obvious suck of the movie advertised, I once again asked myself: When did people start putting the whole goddamn movie in the trailer? The whole plot, or whatever passes for it, pretty much anything except for the ending (and sometimes even that)? I don't understand how that makes for good marketing.
