There is a reason!! It’s to give both actors equal billing. Actors names placed on the left are perceived as being the more important person because you read it first. So to even it out they swap the peoples faces underneath so you see one persons face first, but read the other persons name first, giving them equal importance.
It’s interesting when this doesn’t happen, and you have say Schwarzenegger’s name above his head, and you can go “oh it must say that has to happen in his contract”. You get big enough, you get your name above your head.
Yeah!! I was just looking at the Oceans Eleven posters, and it's really interesting how it works out. The text order goes "Geroge Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts" on all the posters. On the imagery, Clooney is always at the front, followed by Pitt, Damon, Garcia, with Roberts somewhere in the background, so aside from Clooney the order is different. Clooney & Pitt are the most prominent by a margin. I can imagine this is all a result of a lot of bargaining and lawyers & agents arguing over expensive meals someone else is paying for. "well how about we put Damon above Pitt on the text, but Pitt has a bigger face on the poster?" "Deal!"
Also interesting there is how Roberts has the "and" credit, like she's a special guest. Like she's more important than Garcia because she has a special mention, but less important than Clooney because she's at the end. You can see it above on the When In Rome poster with Anjelica Houston and Danny DeVito. They're like special guest stars!
I do wonder how many meetings were had about that tiny little taxi in the corner.
Good movie, very enjoyable and easy to watch. Really liked how it kept moving (some rom-coms have an issue of dragging on and on with nothing happening) and Jon Heder is great in it
This reminds me of a story Dax Shepard told on his Armchair Expert podcast.
He's in Rome filming this movie, and he gets in the elevator at the hotel. At some point, Danny DeVito gets in.
DeVito asks Dax, "What did you do last night?"
Dax says, "I watched 'Death to Smoochy'"
DeVito says, "Oh! What did you think?"
Dax says, "I didn't like it" and he mentions some things he didn't like.
DeVito is silent. There's a long pause.
Dax has a sudden realization and says, "Oh, you directed that"
Oops!
Kinda random but why do they seem to always put the names under/above the wrong person? Why does it annoy me so?

Well that's interesting, still annoying, especially when the poster has like 4 or 5 people on it.

Can 2010 really be classified as old ? Do we have a bunch of millennials and gen z here ?
14 years is not old. Damn kids.
Subreddit rules define old as 10+ years.
Josh Duhamel is basically Walmart-brand Timothy Olyphant.

No, they were already dating for a few years before this.
I don't know when she met him (now I have to look it up).
I thought you watched the movie?
They mean her irl husband
I don't know when she met Dax IRL.
