Maaaan how did that awful-looking Vince Vaughn movie top the charts?
Because there are couples out there that find the notion of couples going to retreats to be rich in comedic gold and so they go to the theater as couples.
HOLLYWOOD, CA—Popular film actor Vince Vaughn appeared on NBC's Tonight Show Monday to brazenly and unapologetically deceive the American people about his latest movie, Couples Retreat.
"It's a really funny movie, and I think people are going to enjoy it," lied the 39-year-old performer, knowing full well that he was misleading viewers into making a decision that was not in their best interests. "It's got something for everybody."
Added Vaughn, in another willful distortion of the truth, "It's got a really fun vibe."
Sources reported that Vaughn's Tonight Show appearance was merely the latest stop on a campaign of deception currently being waged by the tall and dishonest funnyman across various media outlets. In the past week alone, Vaughn has appeared on three separate television programs and two syndicated radio programs, offering duplicitous information about Couples Retreat with no outward indication of remorse.
"This was the director's first movie, and he did a fantastic job," Vaughn said during Monday's broadcast, ensnaring filmmaker Peter Billingsley into his tangled web of deceit. "It was a real pleasure working with him. He's a terrific guy."
Aiding Vaughn in his deliberate exploitation of Americans' inherently trusting natures was Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien, who referred to a 22-second clip from the film as "very funny stuff."
O'Brien then further established himself as an untrustworthy television personality by looking directly into the camera and fraudulently assuring viewers that there would be "so much more to talk about" after the commercial break.
Vaughn and O'Brien, however, are only two of several thousand performers currently engaged in elaborately deceptive schemes designed to trick the TV-viewing public. Known for their striking good looks and charming personalities, these men and women will reportedly do anything in their power to hoodwink average citizens into watching their latest romantic comedy, network prime-time show, or low-budget made-for-TV movie.
"Why is Vince Vaughn doing this?" asked Baltimore housewife Beth Delbanco, 46. "Time and again, from Fred Claus to Four Christmases, this man has gone on TV and told me to my face, 'Go see this movie, you will enjoy it.' He's stealing my money!"
Added Delbanco, "I thought I could trust these celebrities."
Sources reported that Vaughn's Tonight Show appearance was the most blatant act of televised dishonesty since Sept. 29, when, during an appearance on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, actor Jude Law claimed that it was "good to be here."

I think I'll rent it for sure. Love to see a small movie do this big.
Only problem is now I'm going to get even more "encouragement" from people.
"Your movie is a small budget, you know Kevin Smith? YOU KNOW HIM? YOU HEARD OF HIM? He made a small movie and that made him big. YOu guys will too. And Blair Witch Project, you guys will be like that."
I have to remind them that for every Clerks and Primer there are countless hundreds, if not thousands of small movies made that completely failed, were terrible and forced the people that worked on them to have to move back in with their parents.
I remember this movie back when it was called the Blair Witch Project. And I remember this movie being marketed as the scariest thing ever back when it was called the Exorcist. And I wasn't even alive when the latter came out.

Man, I like Primer and all but are you sure it isn't in the failure column? Dude that made it has done nothing else since.
Yeah, Primer is still a damn-near impossibility to find on DVD even, unless you're shopping online. And pretty much no one I talk to has ever heard of it.
Side note though, I guess the guy that plays Abe in Primer is an actual actor now and not just one of the director's buds? Apparently he's up for the lead role in the Infamous movie.
almost the whole fucking film was on a hand held camcorder to "make it real" and therefore motion-sickness inducing except the night scenes which were stationary and therefore the best part.
The movie was good for a horror, especially one on a budget that small. There were a lot of screams in the theater I saw it at, and decent amount of people seemed freaked the fuck out when it was over.
Shaky-cam sucks though, and I think that most of us know that these "real home horror movies" are fake and the movie makers should give us some credit. Instead of "OMG there's some creepy stuff in houses, lets get 1 camera and film everything because we're real people and this is what real people would do" maybe the film makers could do something more like "OMG there's some creepy stuff in houses, because I can use technology I have installed several stationary small cameras (i.e. webcam) throughout the house to ensure that we don't miss anything and will have a clear picture of whatever happens
promise me Trent.. if you ever make a Blair Witch type movie.... make me the promise that you will maximize the use of a stationary camera

Because it's the only romcom out right now and was the only film that opened that week basically.
That's not why I posted the screen, though.

It was bad. It's like the characters took a page from the cast of cloverfield and decided to do the dumbest things imaginable.
If this isn't proof to not see it, I don't know what is.
Only problem is now I'm going to get even more "encouragement" from people.

Isn't that kinda redundant?
Well, as for the movie itself, I mean. It made vastly more than it cost to make.
I'm not sure why he's done nothing since. I don't think the Blair Witch Guys did either but they walked away with 5 mil each.
