　　Those 'Collateral Beauty' trailers are lying to you

　　The trailers for “Collateral Beauty” are everywhere, so you probably have a pretty good sense of the movie.

　　When a successful New York advertising executive (Will Smith) suffers from a great tragedy, he writes letters to Love (Keira Knightley), Time (Jacob Latimore) and Death (Helen Mirren) asking for answers. (Warner Bros. Pictures)

　　In what appears to be a fairy tale fable, Will Smith plays Howard, a man who lost his young daughter but finds hope again when he's visited by three abstract concepts: Love, Time and Death show up in personified forms (played by Keira Knightley, Jacob Latimore and Helen Mirren), and implore him not to lose hope. His only child died, but they don't want him to give up on life.

　　Taking place around the holidays, the whole thing carries a whiff of “A Christmas Carol,” with the three visitors echoing the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. The trailer also indicates that this could be a modern-day “It's a Wonderful Life,” with its blend of real-world problems and festive sorcery. And the story seems so clearly engineered to make viewers cry.

　　But guess what? That's not what the movie is about. At all. It comes out today, so it would benefit would-be movie-goers to know the truth. And don't yell at me about spoilers; I'm only giving away what happens at the beginning of the movie.
