That teaser trailer looks pretty good. None of the character open their mouths though. The more annoying full trailer gives you more of an idea of what to expect (pretty much the whole film), a bunch of characters going through various ups and downs and occasionally texting someone about it. I thought the film would have more to say about social media but I really believe all these stories could have been told without needing that connection and it would have made little difference.

Unexpectedly the film opens orbiting Jupiter. There's some really cool space imagery done here. Emma Thompson reprises her role of the narrator from Stranger than Fiction. And then we get one of those multiple narrative dramas with a big ensemble cast and it's okay but nothing amazing or new. I guess I wanted more from Jason Reitman other than some nicely designed texting graphical displays.
