The (Very Unofficial) Top 5 Most Misleading Trailers of All-Time

Terabithia definitely deserves the top spot. It wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't something I'd normally pay to see in the theater, either.

Gotta agree with Terabithia. My son, who is just turning four, loves Harry Potter but me and the wife don't like him watching the violent parts. The other night my wife asks me to rent Terabithia as she says it looks like, and I quote, "Harry Potter for young kids"! Needless to say, that's not what the movie turned out to be. Thankfully my son fell asleep midway through but my wife got a nice cry at the end and then told me to bring it back the next day!

I have to disagree with his Mean Girls assessment.

He says the trailer was:

Yet another asinine teen flick you couldn’t pay me to watch, where some bitchy girl steals the boy Lindsay Lohan likes.
Which is pretty much what I thought the film was. The trailer didn't mislead me, my boredom on the night I was unfortunate enough to watch this drivel did that.
