27 taglines to put you off a film

Simon Brew and Mark Pickavance


Would any of these entice you to buy a ticket, we wonder?

Published on May 20, 2009

We've been thinking quite a lot about taglines recently in the land of Den Of Geek. And after one two many very nicely chilled cans of beer, and a few too many crisps, out poured a selection of the taglines that would, in an instant, send us running at speed in the other direction.

See what you think, and add your own...


"From visionary director Brett Ratner"
"Based on the best-selling videogame"
"The Chipmunks are back! And they've never been squeakier"
"Better than Gigli!"
"Ben Affleck. As you've never seen him before..."
"Best Film (Dudley Film Festival)"
"A comic book movie that's even better than Catwoman!"
"Rob Schneider's funniest film ever!"
"Prinze Jr is back. And he's angry"
"Based on Dan Brown's best selling novel"
"The moving story of unspoken love in the world of banking"
"So good I almost put it on expenses!"
"The sequel to the direct-to-DVD smash hit!"
"Based on the classic 1960s TV show!"
"It's Star Trek meets Pretty Woman!"
"The film Chris Tucker was born to make!"
"Television's cutest animal is the movie's biggest new star!"
"Nicole Kidman's dream project!"
"Starring Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan"
Come to think of it, "Starring Meg Ryan"
"The amazing true story of Paris Hilton, in her own words"
"In Redditch, no-one can hear you scream"
"Inspired by the blog of the same name"
"The concert movie of American's hottest teen singing sensation!"
"Finally: Juggernaut gets his own movie!"
"You thought he was dead. But he's just resting his eyes, and having a bit of a kip"
"At last! A whole new Crank, without Jason Statham in it!"
