Our Take On The Lake George Trailer
The Movie Has A Lot Of Promise
The only unfortunate element aboutLake Georgeis the fact that it will be released simultaneously on digital and in theaters. This will severely limit the reach of the film, as audiences will be more apt to pay to watch it at home rather than head to the theater during a busy release time. From the trailer, I thinkLake Georgewould have the potential for theatrical success if it had better timing. Hopefully, audiences will still catch the film digitally and embark on this wild ride with Don and Phyllis.
