'The Informant' Trailer: Reasonably Hilarious

We've known for a while that the Matt Damon/Steven Soderbergh flick The Informant was not going to be as stuffy as it sounds: in print, it's a biopic about Mark Whitacre, a whistle-blower for a price-fixing corn company from the early '90s. But in reality, it's a satirical dark comedy with a great supporting cast: Arrested Development's Tony Hale, The Soup's Joel McHale, Two and a Half Men's Melanie Lynskey, and Quantum Leap's Scott Bakula. Scott Bakula, man!

The trailer plays down the based-on-true-events angle and plays up the wacky satire angle. Fine by me. Any movie title with an exclamation point at the end is automatically about twice as awesome.
