Trailer Tuesday: Thumbsucker
Apple has a teaser for Thumbsucker available now.
Will it be any good? Excellent question. Since this is a teaser, it's difficult to tell even how good it might or might not be.
According to various synopses, Thumbsucker is "an honest and funny look at the struggles of people who feel deeply flawed, both those in youth and middle age." 17-year-old Justin Cobb attempts to break his thumbsucking habit, but he resorts to pills, girls, and (of course) new age orthodontistry. Justin's search for "normal" leads him further away from his goal. None of the ancillary characters fare much better in their search, either.
Vince Vaughn plays Justin's debate coach and Keanu Reeves plays his new age orthodontist. I'm guessing that, if this movie is any good, it will be able to transcend that which is Keanu Reeves. Perhaps the role is written to be bland in that Keanu-esque way.
