I like how the laces of the football got transformed into an ersatz vagina for the bikini girl to slide out of with her UNRATED sign. That alone is enough to exclude it from the "worst covers ever" thread.
Plus, the guy in the shopping cart is just WTF funny. I'd watch at least 5 minutes of this.

Odd that a movie ostensibly about Christian morality would end up in Photoshop Hell.

Also, I think the
Wristcutters cover is terrible, mostly because it makes the film look more along the lines of something like this:
instead of creating a cover that's going to appeal to fans of dark indie comedies. The theatrical poster wasn't horrible.

Why is that one guy stuck down in the corner and why is his foot in the air like that? See, now I'm going to have to watch the movie to find out.

It actually is on purpose, but I can't say I recommend watching to discover why

That sequence is near the beginning, if I recall....after it's over, you can stop watching.

Finally, a reason
not to buy the 2-disc special edition. Though buying it at all ranks about as high on my priorities as getting a root canal.

Yeah, but how bad do you need a root canal?

Michael Pena's hair is the highlight of that cover.

That came out months ago, and I've seen it. It's as bad as it looks.

The girls head is one of the worst photoshops I have ever seen.
And from the people that brought you Ratatoing and Transmorphers:
How the hell doesn't these people get sued?!?

Sony should get an award for producing these horrible covers by the dozen. By the way, what caused the fire? The car or the guy in yellow farting?

I've never heard of Bobby Pacino, but Pacino Deerfield is the star of the now-classic "Bobby."

People escaping/being stuck in burning wrecks in the bottom quarter of your dvd cover are the new fancy fonts.

If they really wanted to appeal to the NASCAR audience they appear to be courting, the inclusion of the Eiffel Tower was a big mistake (assuming NASCAR fans know where the Eiffel Tower is located)
