They want so badly to turn Awkwafina into the new Gilbert Gottfried and it feels unearned. Also, why is Ryan huskily whispering all of his lines? Foster's designs were unique and fun, these "IFs" are very bland but marketable stickers you'd find in a dollar store.

I never had an imaginary friend but everyone I've heard talk about theirs had a human. Usually they have magic powers or something but it's still a human. In shows and movies it's always monsters but that doesn't seem common to me in real life. Maybe that makes it more clear that they're imaginary and not just invisible or magic. That's actually a pretty interesting subject now that you bring it up.

I came up with some fucked up concepts with this premise, one of them is imagine an imaginary friend comes into existence, but hates its existence and is constantly suffering, like, it's the definition of "I didn't ask to be born." The other one was what if an imaginary friend gets abandoned by their child, since they grew up, but can never find a new home because adults don't take interest in them due to them being "too weird", and for some reason other kids don't find interest in them. Both ideas are probably more interesting than the actual movie's plot.

Unironically Disney made a more interesting version of the abandoned imaginary friend concept in the 90’s called ‘Don’t Look Under The Bed’. Not only was the imaginary friend a humanoid, as most imaginary friends tend to actually be, but it had a very mature message about growing up and growing out of childish habits and whims. Also IF is just very blatantly derivative of Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, but that goes without saying.

Imagine Ryan Reynolds looking up reactions to the trailer. Finds this video, has no idea who Adam is and hears the first minute or so about him having brain dementia for not uploading in 4k.

Hollywood's creativeness is nearing bankruptcy.

This feels like it was shot as a horror movie but hastily retooled in editing to become whimsical instead of ominous.

Wait...this is just Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, but made with bland adults.

This is reminding of that NFT show that had it's main lead get held hostage.

I saw this trailer in the theater and I was trying not to giggle with how ridiculous it was

Some people in the chat pointed it out, but it's interesting to me how like all of the jokes in the trailer aren't even jokes.

The other day I looked at upcoming movies and saw this, and the first thing I noticed was how AWFUL the design team was. These look so so weak and boring. You could just have kids draw their imaginary friend or what they think of and use those. Besides it being so similar to foster home, the look and feel of this movie is so bland and just...pathetic. Like these designs are so weak and boring, it's crazy to me that this is a real movie.

Those 3D models look like someone's first project in Blender.

I’m sure someone already said this but “Drop Dead Fred” came out in 1991 and was about an imaginary friend whose kid is grown up.

You are really great Olivia!

wait wait this is just the premise of Happy! on netflix. i knew recognized it. literally just imaginary friends if they still existed, this is just the non Ted version

Not only do they have the problem of this concept being done much better in Foster’s, but this movie feels like something that should been left in the 2010’s, like if this movie were made a decade ago maybe it would have had a chance but there no hope for this at this time. Also them trying to make a slang term to attach to their movie instead just saying imaginary friend and they came up with IF, oh my god it sounds so lame

Feel like this would look better animated

All the imaginary characters don't even look like a kid made them. It looks like a kid's idea filtered through an adult. Bland

I'm curious to know what Krasinski stole this one from. Oh, so it's literally just Foster's.

I still remember seeing a behind the scenes promo for this shortly after this came out and Ryan did the mouth open pointing behind him meme.

1:00 It's always a good sign when your big dramatic trailer moment is grammatically incorrect (subjunctive mood always uses "were", not "was")! That's a worse sin that not uploading in 4k, if you ask me...

These uh? 'Creatures' all scream "designed by adults trying to appeal to kids". Imagine if they had actually gotten kids to come up with the imaginary friends. Don't think it'd save the movie, but it'd be a hell of a lot less embarrassing.

I feel like this might have been better if it was completely animated, but then it would be compared to Foster’s even more…

I really liked A Quiet Place, but this looks like a step backwards for Krasinski. Overuse of bad CGI, jokes that insist upon themselves and are drawn out, and a very predictable plot. I had to check, and Krasinski did not write (only directed) A Quiet Place, whereas he is the writer and director for this. I’m curious if watching this might give Adam more appreciation for A Quiet Place.

Does Cool Cat make a cameo, Adum ?

Glad you are feeling better Olivia. Your editing is certainly great, and I always appreciate the flourishes you add in.

Is anyone else getting A.I generated image vibes from some of these character designs? They all have that lifeless corporate look too

Christopher Meloni was in a Netflix series with pretty much the same plot.

It would probably be fine if the character design was interesting... But there's nothing worse than a half baked premise with bad character design.

this is the most uncanny-valley cartoon+live action combo I've seen in my life, and I follow them since Roger Rabbit.

Upon my first viewing of this trailer, I honestly thought this was going to be a Foster's Home for imaginary Friends live-action reboot.

From the imagination of john krasinski watching Drop Dead Fred...and it's weird that Chris Meloni is in this since he was in Happy, which this also feels like

Sure Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends comes to mind but also Drop Dead Fred did the whole imaginary friend thing too! Although that's definitely not a kids film lmao
