they have very deep pockets and are mostly run by ex studio folk. {nm} Moviesnob May 05, 10:23

they put together a great trailer for the target audience. that's a start in the right direction. will have to see how they market it from lobogotti May 05, 10:45

When the trailer came out earlier this week, my Facebook feed was awash in mom friends linking it and saying "This is totally me!" Paul2k May 05, 08:39
