I hear this a lot about The Rum Diary. I guess it depends on what you watch and they geared their advertising to a select audience?

I know I saw a LOT of advertising for it especially during The Daily Show, Colbert Report and all night time talk shows and I know Aaron Eckhart at least did plug it. Graham Norton also did a show with Johnny that was on both continents.
