It’s always nice to come back from the weekend and ease ourselves into the news with a few trailers, even if we are entirely indifferent to them. Today we have The Big Year, a comedy starring Jack Black, Owen Wilson and Steve Martin as three men who are somehow related to one another going somewhere for some reason. Kind of like an Eat Pray Love for men. I know that sounds a little vague, but if you can discern anything else from the below trailer, our hats off to you.

Needless to say, our expectations for this are a little low. Steve Martin will be snide yet endearing. Owen Wilson will say things that will only register with you as being funny several minutes later. Jack Black will end all of his lines with ‘Sha-na-na-na-naaa’, and at some point he will plug the new Tenacious D album. The film will get 53% on Rotten Tomatoes, and one day, years from now, you will be in HMV and you will see it for £2.99. You will buy it, and you will never take it out of its plastic. Every now and then you’ll pick it up and think “Why do I have this? When did I buy this?” and then you will put it back down again.

On the plus side, Anjelica Huston is in it.
