Chas just directed me to a pretty great LA Times story in which a crew 13 and 14 year olds dissect this summer’s batch of previews. They are vicious, and they are pretty much 100 percent correct about what movies look like crap. This, for example, is what they thought about the trailer for I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry:

Milena: “I guess I’d go see it, but only if everything else was sold out.”

Simona: “Adam Sandler is just so annoying now.”

Ryan: “I thought he was funny when I was little. I wonder what happened?”

Tristan: “Who knows — maybe he is still funny, to an 8-year-old.”

They also tear into Pirates of the Caribbean (“I know I’m going to have to see it, but I don’t think I’m going to like it. It really looks repetitive. But I guess I have to go”), Live Free or Die Hard (“This is the exact kind of movie Hot Fuzz makes fun of. There were so many scenes that were so far-fetched. I mean, you can’t kill a helicopter with a car”), and Ocean’s Thirteen (“I have to admit that it seems pretty good, but I don’t want to like it because my parents would probably like it”). So, so worth reading. Also, if any of these kids decide they want my job, I am so, so screwed.
