Rob Reiner has certainly bottomed out after Spinal Tap. If even the trailers can't make you quasi interested, it must be crap. Seems like an empty, vapid pretentious exercise. It's greatest achievement is exposing Nicholson and Freeman as the whores they are--dancing pigs, give 'em a check and there's not stopping how low they'll stoop, witness 'As Good as it Gets' f'rinstance. It is very depressing to see such talent (see 'The Departed' or 'Chinatown') wasted in such pap (I have yet to understand why Freeman is considered a 'great actor'; even in his best role, in 'The Unforgiven,' he was merely adequate).
