I am going to be looking at only rom-com trailers as that is the genre my trailer will be.
'Two of a Kind' (1983)
After watching this trailer for an Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta reunion I think I would have rather watched 'Grease 2'. The first clip shows Travolta lying in bed whilst the voice over says "John Travolta is one of a kind" he the does a very cheesy smile at the camera, the clip then spins into a scene with Newton-John sitting at a table whilst the voice over says "Olivia Newton-John is one of a kind" it then spins off again to another scene of them dinning at a table together with the voice over saying that they are two of a kind. The clip then goes to a graphic of the movie title and then it finishes. Although the trailer shows us who the cast is it doesn't tell us anything about the characters apart from the fact that they are 'two of a kind' and it doesn't tell us anything about the plot either, we are not left wondering what will happen because we don't know anything in the first place. Maybe they thought that because they worked together in 'Grease' and it was such a 'big hit' that this film would be as successful and they thought they wouldn't have to work hard at attracting the audience.
