With generic comedies, I feel more comfortable judging trailers, so 1 vote for Friends With Benefits. Woody Harrelson plus the joke with 9 year old is a positive.

[Stefen]

This is why Aronofsky is considered ahead of his time. He basically ditched Timberlake and Kutcher, and then made one movie starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis where they make out and feel eachother up.

Haha Stefen is right.

I dunno if it's a red band vs. green band thing - but one of them feels like a rated r movie while the other feels like a pg-13 one.  plus, mila kunis and justin timberlake are both funny, and you know how the other two go.

I wonder how many people will see one of these thinking it was the other one.

This reminds me of The Sixth Sense vs. Stir of Echoes.

Although only one was remembered, I think Stir of Echoes was actually pretty good.

I can vaguely remember 1-3 other similar "deathmatches" in the past 10-12 years. Can anyone name them?

Armageddon vs Deep Impact.

Antz vs Bugs Life

Saving Private Ryan vs Thin Red Line

The Illusionist vs The Prestige

Volcano vs. Dante's Peak (1997)

No Strings Attached was pretty good - definitely an above-average contemporary romcom, and I have hopes for Friends With Benefits.

What I can't understand, though, is this Blind Film Critic guy - who made that mashup trailer. I just about get it as a hook for reviewing, and it's obviously valid... But how does he know anything of the camera angles in those trailers?

Armageddon vs Deep Impact.

Antz vs Bugs Life

Saving Private Ryan vs Thin Red Line

The Illusionist vs The Prestige

Nice... There's another one I'm trying to think of about a particular historical event or figure, from maybe 3-4 years ago. I can't remember it.

Capote vs Infamous?

There was also...

Mission to Mars vs Red Planet.

Truman Show vs EdTV

[RegularKarate]

Pretty sure you're thinking of Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull VS You Don't Mess With the Zohan.

[Jeremy Blackman]

I think I was thinking of Capote, but I'm also pretty sure there was another similar one.

Well, there were two Joan of Arcs in '99 (Besson's and the Leelee Sobieski one). Then there was going to be the Alexander clash till Baz Luhrmann ceded to Stone...
