A trailer for the upcoming coming-of-age comedy Cemetery Junction has popped up online.  Written and directed by The Office and Extras creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, it's hard to locate their style of comedy in the trailer.  Perhaps that's because the film isn't shot documentary-style or Gervais and Merchant aren't the stars.  But the writing and one-liners still lack that subtle bite of Gervais/Merchant comedy.  I'm not really sure what to make of this trailer since it's hard to get any sense of the characters or plot beyond Christian Cooke's character wanting to run away with his girlfriend and the importance of getting out of a small town.  Oh, and the movie takes place in the 60s. I'm sure Gervais and Merchant's stamp is on the film, but it's hard to find it within this one minute and forty-four seconds.

Hit the jump to see the trailer and along with the official synopsis.  Cemetery Junction opens on April 7th in the UK.

For those just tuning in, here's the official synopsis:

CEMETERY JUNCTION tells the funny, touching and universal story of being trapped in a small town and dreaming of escape. In 1970s England, three blue-collar friends spend their days joking, drinking, fighting and chasing girls.

Freddie (Christian Cooke) wants to leave their working-class world but cool, charismatic Bruce (Tom Hughes) and lovable loser Snork (Jack Doolan) are happy with life the way it is.

When Freddie gets a new job as a door-to-door salesman and bumps into his old school sweetheart Julie (Felicity Jones), the gang are forced to make choices that will change their lives for ever.
