The trailer for Jonah Hill’s upcoming movie, “Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far” was released Tuesday, and it was awful.

The plot of the movie, according to the YouTube description, is:

After Portland slacker John Callahan (Joaquin Phoenix) nearly loses his life in a car accident, the last thing he intends to do is give up drinking. But when he reluctantly enters treatment – with encouragement from his girlfriend (Rooney Mara) and a charismatic sponsor (Jonah Hill) – Callahan discovers a gift for drawing edgy, irreverent newspaper cartoons that develop a national following and grant him a new lease on life. Based on a true story, this poignant, insightful and often funny drama about the healing power of art is adapted from Callahan’s autobiography and directed by two-time Oscar® nominee Gus Van Sant. Jack Black, Carrie Brownstein, Beth Ditto and Kim Gordon also star.

That was one of the worst movie trailers I’ve ever seen in my life. Who put that together and thought it was good. Honestly, I need to know the answer to that question immediately.

Jonah Hill is a comedy man. He should be making me laugh. I don’t want to be depressed while watching his movies. I’m going to be taking a very hard pass on this movie. Absolutely would not recommend.
