Spare Some Change?

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "The Change-Up". This week's five points of the poster are:

1) Name-dropping on movie posters is always good. It says to people, "If you liked the movie poster for The Hangover or Wedding Crashers you'll like this one."

2) Babies attacking Jason Bateman is pretty cool, but I'm not sure if this will help or hurt the box-office receipts. It makes me want to go see the movie, but mature movie-goers are likely to avoid it for fear they will develop a phobia of babies.

3) A pretty girl is always a good addition, two is even better!

4) Not to forget the eye-candy for the ladies, Ryan Reynolds should help guys convince their girlfriends that they might actually enjoy this movie!

5) I'm glad they printed the name of the movie in clear block letters because this might bring in additional revenue from baseball fans. They might get confused and think it's a baseball movie, with at least two pretty girls in it...

In conclusion, based on this thorough analysis I predict that "The Change-Up" will gross $17 million in its opening weekend.
