JC Penny Spot

This spot is getting a lot of hate from the snobby ad world. I like it. It caught my attention and made me remember who the spot was for. More than most spots do now. How many times have you loved a commercial but could not remember who the hell it was for?

The remake of the song sucked. Hopefully, the spot will bring Kmart more business though.

I think the font needs work. Comic Sans, perhaps.

I liked it too, I agree that the song wasn't so great, but maybe I should ask my 14 year old nephew if that band is cool? Kidding about that part.

the lens flare is kind of lame at the end, but when i saw this on tv, i thought it was really cool that they directed those kids so well and styled the set so well...I don't know if anyone else thought this but I think the automatic doors are cool because it makes you think they just got done shopping...

Good catch on the sliding doors. I think they did a good job of working to appeal to young teens and using the retro movie tie-in will appeal to 40 somethings who grew up with the movie, and make them think of JC Penny as a viable option for their kids. Is it perfect? No. But Has it made people talk about it? Yes.
