  1. How Do You Know (film): How did this cost $100 million?@gooddream2580d

    How Do You Know (there is no question mark in the title by the way) was a decent romantic comedy that was released in 2010. The film wasn't bad, it actually had a pretty decent although highly predictable plot and list of characters. It was pretty much the same thing as any other Hollywood RomCom.

    Seeing as how all the elements of this film are basically the same as all other romantic comedies (which I will admit I tend to enjoy from time-to-time) the only thing that is really shocking about this film is that they managed to spend Marvel Epic film money on making it. There is no CGI in this film at all. The locations, outside of a few scenes at professional baseball stadiums, aren't really anything that you can point your finger at and say "ooooh, i bet that cost a lot"

    Obviously, with a cast of Witherspoon, Wilson, and Nicholson, there are going to be some large salaries but I never expected that the total cost of just these 3 and the director, came to nearly $50 million on their own. Since Rom-Coms rarely generate massive box-office totals akin to Marvel films, who are the jackasses in charge that greenlighted this?

    I think it kind of goes without saying, but this movie did not even come close to making its money back. When I look at the financials, I can't help but wondering whether or not it was always intended to fail because of some sort of money laundering something or other.

    This movie is mildly entertaining but I can't really recommend that anyone run out and look for it because by simply watching the trailer I am quite certain that almost everyone can correctly predict the story there. It's a romcom, they all, for the most part, have the same formula.

    I'm not writing about this in order to convince or discourage anyone from watching this - I just randomly ran across it while investigating "most expensive flops in film history" and couldn't believe this film was on it. There is a reason why Adam Sandler is so sought after to make stupid romantic comedies... his films always make money... This one, has a 3/10 rating on review sites (thereabouts) and lost $70 million. Ouch.
