To me, there's nothing funny about the trailer. ZG hints at funny, and the supporting cast looks great on paper, but Carell and Rudd and Jay Roach... way to not bring it, guys. This looks like a remake cooked up by too many writers who compromised all the funny out of the concept, and they had to make up for the terrible script by calling up people they could rely on to bring the funny on the day, on the spot, in the room. Pass. I'll catch it on DVD. Maybe.
