Sure, at first glance, We’re the Millers could look like a tired comedy with predictable jokes and pat situations and dialog. Fortunately, when you look at this new redband trailer, those thoughts tend to disappear.
In the new comedy, Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Ed Helms and Emma Roberts star and, as you can imagine, each is given quite a bit to do. The new trailer helps to highlight those aspects, as well as the more “adult” parts of this movie about a pot dealer and a stripper who team to fake being an All-American family to smuggle drugs across the Mexico-U.S. border.
We’ll let you guess if they get away with it clean. Look for We’re the Millers to arrive on August 7.
Check out the redband (NSFW) trailer after the break.

Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis, Brie Larson and Fred Armisen will star in a relationship comedy that marks the directorial debut of writer Christopher Storer, Relanxious.
Other than being a fairly obnoxious combination of words, Relanxious follows Barrett, played by Wilde, an anxiety-ridden woman who meets and is smitten with George, played by Sudeikis. George is agoraphobic and so their courtship is limited to phone conversations in which they discuss the dates they would go on if their phobias didn’t stand in the way. As the fantasies develop, the two must decide if they can put aside their fears in order to find real-life romance. Larsen plays Barrett’s sister, and Armisen plays George’s friend and only contact with the outside world.
Wilde recently wrapped her work Steve Carell – Jim Carrey comedy Burt Wonderstone. Sudeikis is still appearing on Saturday Night Live and last appeared on the big screen in Horrible Bosses. Larsen will be seen in this month’s 21 Jump Street remake and Sudeikis’ fellow SNL castmember Armisen has been working on his IFC series Portlandia, which just got picked up for a third season.
The film will be produced by Daniel Dubiecki, who recently launched The Allegiance Theater, and Lorene Scafaria, writer/director of the upcoming Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Relanxious will shoot this summer in Chicago.

The MPAA is a funny organization. Depending on the director, producer, or studio, it will determine a film’s overall success by slapping it with a rating that could cut its possible audience down to a third.
A few years ago, there was a dispute between the MPAA and Kevin Smith (go figure) about the title of his film, Zach and Miri Make a Porno. The organization wanted to give the film an NC-17 rating based purely on the premise and title, without taking into consideration the fact that it was a satire. After a debate, the film got released with an R rating and everyone was happy (except for those who saw the flick).
Now, another film with an iffy title and premise comes along and gets a hard R rating right out of the cage. We present to you the synopsis for A Good Old Fashioned Orgy.
Jason Sudeikis is Eric, a thirtysomething party animal famous among his close circle of friends for his lavish summer theme parties at his father’s swanky Hamptons pad. But when members of the crew start settling down, and Eric’s dad announces plans to sell the beach house, Eric decides it’s time for one last bash to go out with a proverbial bang—a good old-fashioned orgy. The only obstacles to overcome are actually convincing each of his reluctant friends to join in on the bacchanal, and an inconveniently blossoming romance with the real estate agent threatening to sell the house out from under him before the main event can even take place.
Giving credit where credit’s due, the film looks hilarious. A cast of Sudeikis, Tyler Labine, and Nick Kroll alone is enough to keep the laughs coming. When you add a pending orgy, things only get better.
Check out the first official trailer for the film and catch it when it hits theaters on September 2nd.

If The New York Times were to break the story that the NEA has been generously funding an ongoing study of manhood and brotherhood among everyday schmoes in contemporary culture, that sure would explain a lot. Surely few phenomena have been as comprehensively documented of late as the dilemma of nondescript modern men (usually lifelong buddies) forced by extreme circumstances beyond their control (roofies, bad bosses) into the type of reckless behavior (murder, breaking-and-entering, walking into a bar in the bad part of town) they would never normally contemplate.
Almost always the upshot involves:
- • illegal drug usage (usually unintentional)
- • first-ever encounters with law enforcement (cue bickering recrimination scene in the back seat of a squad car)
- • uneasy encounters with The Other (usually hip, powerful, sometimes grotesque black men against whom the protagonists’ manhoods are implicitly contrasted and found vastly wanting. In the case of Hangover The Other is represented by both Mike Tyson and Ken Jeong as an Asian Mafioso. Here, it’s a very funny Jamie Foxx.)
- • flashes of homosexual anxiety
- • all countered by elaborate vulgarity, gross-out humor and scatological references, as well as
- • forced interaction with that other Other: frighteningly gorgeous and overtly sexual women who positively demand to be serviced.

Todd Phillips may have control of the box office this June with Hangover Part 2, but this July definitely has Seth Gordon’s Horrible Bosses written all over it.
With a ginormous cast including Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey, and Jamie Foxx, you can expect lots of great things from this upcoming raunchy comedy. Here’s the synopsis:
For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers…permanently. There’s only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.
Like Office Space meets The Perfect Crime, you can expect some great moments with this outrageous cast. Check out the full trailer after the jump, and catch Horrible Bosses in theaters on July 8th.

“You get what you get, now don’t throw a fit”-Ancient kindergarten teacher proverb.
I am constantly amused when people attend a Farrelly Brothers film and are SHOCKED to find out that it is filled with bathroom humor and precious little in the way of plot. What do you expect people? When you go to a Farrelly Brothers film, you know exactly what you are going to get.
Peter and Bobby Farrelly carved out a new niche for comedy in 1998 when they released Something About Mary. The film’s raunchy humor was dubbed “gross-out humor”, and though they have replicated the formula many times, they have never really duplicated the level of success they had with that first film.
It’s doubtful that this will be the film to do that, though it is a nice departure from their usual fare. Don’t worry, you’ll still find male protagonists suffering from man-child syndrome, plenty of tits, dirty jokes, poop humor, and the like. Not that I’m complaining. I’d be disappointed if those things were missing.

Who doesn’t love a good Farrelly brothers comedy? Let’s leave out a few small films like Heartbreak Kid, Fever Pitch, and Stuck On You. But outside of those, they’ve got some pretty great comedies under their belts. Now, they’re teaming up with Owen Wilson and SNL funnyman Jason Sudeikis for a brand new comedy called Hall Pass.
Basically, the film features Sudeikis and Wilson as two married men who can’t help but look at the sea of attractive women before them. Here’s the breakdown:
Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are best friends who have a lot in common, including the fact that they have each been married for many years. But when the two men begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalizing their individual marriages: granting them a “hall pass,” one week of freedom to do whatever they want…no questions asked.
At first, it sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred. But it isn’t long before they discover that their expectations of the single life-and themselves-are completely, and hilariously, out of sync with reality.
Of course, the phrase “hilarity ensues” isn’t used here, but you can imagine that it’s necessary. Check out the full trailer after the jump and be sure to catch Hall Pass in theaters next February 25.

Real life on again/off again couple Drew Barrymore and Justin Long team up in this sweet romantic comedy that realistically depicts the good, the bad, and the ugly about long distance relationships. Erin (Barrymore) and Garrett (Long) meet in a bar in New York one evening.
The two quickly bond over their mutual love of the retro arcade game Centipede, and spend the rest of the evening together. Erin is up front, and lets Garrett know that she won’t be staying in New York much longer.
Her summer internship is going to be over in six weeks, and she will be returning to Stanford to complete school. They both agree to keep things casual for the next few weeks.
Why is it that when we make these types of vows, we always end up falling the hardest? Naturally the two fall hopelessly in love, and are completely inseparable for those few weeks before she leaves. They share a tearful, protracted good-bye at the airport, and decide to keep the relationship going, despite the distance.
Thus begins our voyeuristic look into the trials and tribulations of their long distance relationship. Texting, late night phone calls, more texting, loneliness and uncertainty, and infrequent weekend visits. Erin and Garrett each face temptations with comely co-workers (Kelly Garner and Oliver Jackson Cohen).

Sad news hit the comedy world last week, as it was announced that Saturday Night Live cast member for just over 8 years Will Forte will not be returning for the show’s upcoming 36th season. But, much like the circle of life, where we lose one, we get another…or in this case, three new lives in the SNL world.
No word on whether it was Forte’s decision to leave or Lorne Michaels’ way of mixing things up right before the new season, as he’s prone to do. What we do know, however, is that Forte’s publicist says that he’s “eternally grateful” to Michaels, along with the cast and crew.
With that said, a new report is out that the show will be getting 3 new faces come this fall. From the NY Post:
Taran Killam, a refugee from the cast of the long-running sitcom “Scrubs,” and two young comedians from Chicago — Paul Brittain and Vanessa Bayer — have been signed to the cast.
Among the new cast members, Killam, 28, is by far the best known. He became free when the proposed series he’d been working on — the Arianna Huffington-produced comedy called “Freshman,” about three first-term congressmen living together in the same D.C. apartment — was not picked up by ABC.
Brittain and Bayer are little known outside Chicago, where they have starred in stage comedies and done stand-up.
While the new of Forte leaving is sad enough on it’s own, other reports are coming in that Seth Meyers, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis and Kenan Thompson are still up in the air as to whether or not they will return next season.
