Was watching Grown Ups the other night and realized that if this movie was made 20 years ago it’d be told from the perspective of the group of friends led by Colin Quinn’s character and Sandler’s character would be a jerk-ass Hollywood boy who gets his in the end when Quinn’s character finally gets payback for the game 30 years before where Sandler’s foot was on the line.

Think about it. It’d be the same overlying story arc, just told from the other side. Next time you catch it, watch it with that in mind and see how it works.

Which made me then think of a terrific marketing gimmick for a movie. Two movies simultaneously released that tell the same story but each uses the opposite main character as the protagonist.
