I watched the trailer and I had no idea how it would go. I will check it out now.

Never heard of it.
Watched the trailer. Is this in the theaters or a specific streaming platform?

I saw the preview on Apple TV. Wasn't sure if I should rent it. Maybe I'll give it a watch after all.

Just saw it. Great performances. Probably the most intense story about a pig I've seen.

So . . . is that a lot of stories? All I can think of is Charlotte's Web and the Babe movies. Are "pig stories" a genre that I somehow missed and should be looking into?

I actually have not seen either of those films, but I was just making a joke anyways.

You are missing out. They are both very enjoyable movies.

Did they ever make the book A Day No Pigs Would Die by Robert Newton Peck into a movie?

I watched the trailer and was intrigued but moved on.

I guess I'll give it a shot after all.

Cage has made so many stinkers in the last decade plus, it's hard to forgive

I showed the trailer to the Smokin Hot Wife last night, we will be watching it soon

Does the pig have a wooden leg?

Paid the .99 on Amazon last night. Yes Nic did a great job acting in his roll but overall it was a bit of a stinker.

A bit slow and confusing at times but we liked it.

BigSwede, would that be a "stinker" or an "Oinker"?

This thread reminds me of one of my favorite James Taylor songs, "Mona".

The GF and I agreed (we rarely do about movies (or anything else)) that this was about the dumbest flick we have ever seen. My $0.99 was wasted.
