You can see a little bit of horizontal glare along the very top of the poster. It's caused by the fluorescent bulb overhead, but even posters that weren't so close to a light source had the same problem.
So it took a bit of work, but I finally got it down and took a shot without the glare.
The tagline is okay, but every other element of the poster is just horrible. And by "every other element," I mean:
the size - and, most of all, the clashing pink color - of the tagline; the uninspiring outfits worn by the two women in the ad; the extremely boring background, which is reminiscent of nothing, save for perhaps the Roman arch; the awkward banner with the film title and the names of the brother writer/director team (even though it's wise to advertise the names behind two classic high school stories); and, above all, the sickly and garish neon/lime green color that overtakes the entire image.
This represents a veritable "what not to do" of film promotional poster design.
