http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/15/Woodcock-Finally-Gets-Off-The-Shelves-And-Into-Theaters.aspx Mr. Woodcock has finally made it to your local theatre. It was a rough road for this crotchety PE teacher and his movie. In fact, there were rumors that the movie may not come out at all. But against all odds, including “being on the shelf for more than two years, going through multiple release dates and being largely overhauled after test audiences turned their noses up at an early cut,” according to Popwatch, Billy Bob Thornton will now be seen terrorizing school children in theatres throughout the country. With all this early bad press, Mr. Woodcock may have a hard time catching an audience. That being said, the studio picked a good time to release it. The months between Labor Day and the start of the holiday season are widely known for being a slow time of year for the movie industry. But that may be exactly what this movie needs, to catch attention. Everybody has already seen the good stuff that’s come out, so they may actually be desperate enough to give a movie with bad early buzz a try. Personally, the clips I’ve seen look pretty funny, but after seeing KNOCKED UP and SUPERBAD, it’s going to take a lot to impress me. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/15/Woodcock-Finally-Gets-Off-The-Shelves-And-Into-Theaters.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/15/Woodcock-Finally-Gets-Off-The-Shelves-And-Into-Theaters.aspx#2417 alot of actors in this one that i like so of course i will have to watch it brokun1 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/15/Woodcock-Finally-Gets-Off-The-Shelves-And-Into-Theaters.aspx#2417 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 12:59:20 GMT
