Imagine if it was another fictional film though? People would be trashing it left and right, if it would even have been allowed by marketing peeps to have a poster like that. I'm not sure how I feel about a film riding on the coattails (albeit tongue-in-cheek as the case may be) of a completely unrelated film. I don't even like it when they ride the coattails of a related film! Funny how the documentary poster looks way more hollywood than the original fictional film poster.
