Yes, it was.  Wimpy nerd gets Dwayne Johnson as an avatar, and
looks with utter astonishment at his own bulging biceps.  The
man can act!  Who'd have thought it?  A man of 45 convincingly
playing a shy, nerdy teenager.  His counterpart, a shy, insecure
girl, turns into Karen Gillan and has to be taught how to flirt
by the class "princess" -- who has incarnated as a man.

No, no unicorn farts that I was able to observe.  What they
discovered was that they themselves were not what they thought
they were.  The coming-of-age element consisted of their learning
to accept themselves, not others.

I never saw the trailer, so I can't say.  (Instead, I saw the
trailers for about fifty other movies that I won't bother to
watch.)
