The first signifier that i found in this poster, is the man on the right has a tooth missing, this may connote that there could have been conflict in the film, he also has a puzzled facial expression which show anchorage of his confusion (about his night in Las Vegas) The second signifier i have seen is denotation, the text, 'some guys just can't handle vegas' The person who created this denotation has used intertextual references because Las Vegas is famously, or infamously known as a city of sin, energy and humour. The the text says 'cant handle' shows that something may have gone wrong in Las Vegas.
The final signifier that i have found is how the man on the left is holding a baby, this has a polysemic meaning, the audience could either think that this man has had to bring his own child along on the trip to Vegas, so he may be the sensible one. Or in actual fact the three men found the baby and are trying to return the baby to his mother, on the way, the find many other reasons for clues they were left with on the morning of the night before, for example why the man on the right's tooth is missing, or why the man in the middle has a bloody lip.
Feminists may argue that there are no women in this poster, that the film is being biased towards a male audience.
