13 Hilarious Movie Poster Photoshop Fails You Won't Believe

10. Always Maintain Eye-Contact - Friends With Kids

Not only is Friends With Kids the most needlessly nasty and cynical "comedy" released in the past decade - or possibly ever - with so much malice and snarkiness that you have to suspect the writers genuinely like to wallop passing children in the face, it also had a painfully obvious Photoshop special poster. Clearly getting the cast to sit down together during filming, or ahead of production (you know, in exchange for the giant sums of money they probably got) was too much of an ask for the art department, who nevertheless pressed on with making a poster, simply amalgamating their likenesses into an ensemble scene where nobody looks like they're aware of what is going on around them. It's like someone that noone wants to speak to has just come into the room, and one of them has shouted "quick, everyone look like you're having fun!" The issue of eye-lines is a particularly troublesome one for poster makers, to be fair, even when you put something as helpful for drawing focus as a camera in the foreground...
Incidentally, what the hell is wrong with Sam Rockwell's neck?! Either all of these Friends With Kids characters are supposed to be waxworks without the ability to interact and just the outward gloss of real human emotion, or we've just stumbled into a room of people who really hate each other trying not to show their obvious and open disdain for each other.
