American Teen goes to Breakfast
My first thoughts when I saw this poster was, “You’re kidding me right? You’re going to market your film based on the success of another?” It reminded me of the terrible bands that get fame and fortune because of a popular song they covered.
But then I read what this movie was about, and it made complete sense to me. American Teen is a documentary very similiar to the The Breakfast Club in which it invloves “Five total strangers, with nothing in common, except the school they went to. A heartthrob, a princess, a jock, a rebel and a geek. Before the year was over, they broke the rules. Bared their souls. And changed in ways they never dreamed possible.” I find this marketing brilliant, and from what I have been reading, this is one of 2008’s best documentaries. American Teen hits theaters July 25th.
