The conversation goes:

“How high can you count?”

Connor: “8!”

“What’s your favorite number?”

Connor: “7 and 9!”

And then he had a mischievous smile on his face. :)

The premise is pretty much what it sounds like. It investigates how some smart people ended up making some bad decisions and how it all could have been prevented. Granted, it’s not totally obvious sometimes when you don’t have a good idea or not making the right choices. But some ideas and choices are just BAD.

Whoever decided to go with this movie title needs their own special seat in the class.



The worst (funniest?) part is I first saw this trailer in the movie theaters. The music and suspense builds up and the voiceover finally announces the title of the movie. Half of the audience bursts out laughing, the other half sits there wondering what they missed.
