UPDATE: Paramount called back. "We're screening it for review and releasing it in ten markets. We'll see where to go from there," said spokeswoman Megan Colligan. "It's a very small art-house release with the possibility of growing it." If the comedy grabs solid reviews and business, Paramount could move it into more costly markets like New York and L.A.
Paramount is releasing the final two Vantage titles much wider: the Neal Brennan comedy The Goods (which Entourage star Jeremy Piven was hawking on Conan the other night) goes out on 1800 screens this weekend. And the Pastor brothers horror virus flick Carriers opens September 4 on 100 screens, ten screens in ten markets, Colligan said: "We'll concentrate these releases and see if we can get something going on it."

Watched the movie and it was not funny at all. I rented it because I love all the Stiller movie but this one was a disappointment.

Why don't they sell it to a company who can handle this kind of release?
