The Year of Getting to Know Us trailer
I’m not sure what the actual title of this movie is, but everyone is referring to it as The Year of Getting to Know Us so that’s what I’m going to go with. That’s despite the fact that the trailer below has the movie titled Rocket, but whatever. The Rocket name seems derived from the last name of the main character, played by Jimmy Fallon.
The trailer is alright, hitting most of the usual beats for a movie about a father and son who have a complicated relationship that just gets sorted out, along with the rest of the son’s relationships, after the father dies or has a severe illness. I didn’t want to physically hurt Fallon, which might be a first in his cinematic career, so I’m going to say the trailer works pretty well based primarily on that. [pic via FS]

This film, which is apparently also known as Rocket, seems to be already experiencing a kind of identity crisis, which could be because the filmmakers decided not to go with my favorite title, Elizabeth Big Fish-Town Garden State Yet With A Lead Actor More Annoying Than Zach Braff, Which Is No Small Feat. Here’s a look at the trailer, courtesy of Movie Marketing Madness: [...]
