Indie Poster Premiere for The Great Buck Howard
January 20, 2009

We've got yet another indie film vying for you attention to feature today. The Great Buck Howard premiered at Sundance last year and unfortunately ended up with some dismal reviews and minimal buzz. It has taken forever to finally get to theaters, and now Magnolia Pictures is putting it out on March 20th. Cinematical has debuted the official poster, which is just as bland and boring as the teaser. I bet you thought I was going to say "as the film"? I actually really enjoyed it and think it deserves a bit more praise than it's getting. And because this doesn't do a good job of explaining what it's about, I'll get into that.
When a law school dropout (Colin Hanks) answers an advertisement to be a personal assistant, he unknowingly signs on to work for a belligerent has-been magician (John Malkovich) struggling to resurrect his career. This leads to a journey across the country staging the comeback of a lifetime.
The Great Buck Howard is both written and directed by Sean McGinly, of The Truth About Juliet, Two Days, and Brothers previously. The film first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008 and is being distributed by Magnolia Pictures. Adam will be hitting limited theaters on March 20th this spring.

I dont think it looks that dismal, it looks pretty good to me. Looks can be decieving though hence the bad reviews.

I'm actually interested in this one, as well. I'll probably at least Red Box it.

I agree that the both the teaser and the poster are bland but what dismal reviews? Most of the reviews were generally positive.
