Wow. DM is really out of it if he thinks he mis-posted this.
I just did a search and found the movie poster for it.

Digging a little further, I discovered that this is one of many many sequels -- not certain how many.
Here's the Oregon Country Fair movie that came out in 2002:

And in 2003:

And 2009:

And my favorites, the two posters for the one that came out in 2011:

I will admit to being a bit disappointed in this year's sequel. The poster makes it look incredibly tame by comparison with previous years. And it's not that I have anything about white makeup and letting a face go completely to weed. But still, would it have killed them to add a wee bit of the feminine mystique? I look at the poster for OCF 2012 and am instantly thinking, "This movie isn't gonna have any nudity." None, nada. Not top, bottom, full frontal, full sideal, not even partials and I doubt very much whether there's even a bottom-up shot of bare feet. And no, movies aren't just about nudity, I'll grant you that. But still, if you tame that part of the celluloid, you've likely tamed things across the board -- which begs the question: Why bother going? Why put up with all the commercials they make you sit through in the theaters these days before they give you the title? And if there's no nudity, what do you suppose takes its place? Tons of product placement, that's what.
When I go to the movies, I want breasts, et. al., not Mountain Dew!
