    Looks like fun.. has a great cast and some very witty moments in the trailer.

    I could watch Ricky Gervais in anything though.. thought he damn good in 'Ghost Town'.

    Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington also make appearances in the film.

    not usually a fan of ricky gervais but the premise actually suits his style, especially the first half of the trailer where no one lies... Not sure about the later half though it looks to go very by the books.

    unfortunetly Karl's scenes didn't make the final cut!

    Still looks like its going to be a decent comedy. The concept is great.

    Funny, I've just re-watched the Office christmas specials tonight and then looked at that trailer, it's like a bizarre change of scenery. Not really sure if i could get too excited about this film, it just looks a little bland or something. I'll probably give it a chance though.

    I dunno am i feeling this at all. Looks like a dim Hollywood chick flick to me.

    I didnt want to be the firsrt to say it. But it does look like a chick flick and a million miles away from Extras or The Office. I did enjoy Ghostown more then I should of. But really that was a chick flick as well. I was expecting something more from this. But trailers can be very misleading at times

    Well the OP's trailer is the US one. Have a look at the UK one - it does make it look more promising. Interesting to see what the producers thought would sell it to US audiences over European.
    You have to remember that the movie has been filtered through the hollywood "machine" so its not like Ricky auteured it. Thats why I'm sure Cemetary Junction will be much closer to Extras/Office style work. That and Smerch's influence (I have a feeling he may be the real genius.) Either way it still looks like a decent Hollywood comedy.
    And Ghost Town wasn't that bad!...but Night At the Museum was! :D
