Maybe this isn't a sign of trouble, but I wasn't encouraged by my own reaction to the new Red Band trailer for Broken Lizard's The Slammin' Salmon. "Well at least Michael Clarke Duncan is funny," I said to myself, realizing how far down that is on my checklist of sentences I'd never gotten around to saying.

I don't get the Broken Lizard thing anymore. Liked a lot of things about Super Troopers, waded through Club Dread, barely endured Beerfest, and now we're facing this movie about the dysfunctional wait staff at a restaurant owned by a retired boxer (Duncan). Like a lot of movies that come out of sketch comedy troops, this probably would've made a great skit or even a series of sketches with the same characters, but that doesn't make it a movie.
And The Slammin' Salmon doesn't look like much of a movie.
