There’s some overlap in these two trailers for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, but so, so many great moments (only some of which are rehashes of jokes from the first one). Hopefully they won’t be the only great ones…
This shit hits the fan on December 20, 2013, naturally. I mean, obviously, they’re gunning for some Oscars here.

I’ve been on board with This Is 40 since its announcement, because Pete and Debbie (Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann) were the best part of Knocked Up. Its teaser trailer was pretty good, but the theatrical trailer is flat-out great — funny, warm, and smart — and it probably speaks to me a little, because I’m only a few years away from 40.
Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd, Albert Brooks, Jason Segel, Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) and Megan Fox star in the December 21st release.

Judd Apatow’s This Is 40 follows Knocked Up‘s scene-stealing characters Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) into middle age. It’s a clear — almost literal — step back from Funny People, which felt to me like two movies smooshed together, only one of which was really good. A little self-indulgent, a little too long… but still very funny and full of wonderful characters.
This Is 40 also stars Megan Fox, John Lithgow, Iris Apatow, Maude Apatow, Melissa McCarthy, Robert Smigel, Charlene Yi and Albert Brooks. (And Jason Segel is obviously in it, as well, though probably not a whole lot. Katherine Heigl? Definitely not in it.)
Fellow Apatow fans, see you in the theater on December 21st.

A trailer for Jesse Peretz’s Our Idiot Brother has hit the interwebs. Paul Rudd stars the dumbass brother of Emily Mortimer, Elizabeth Banks, and Zooey Deschanel. Add Steve Coogan and Rashida Jones into the mix, and you’ve got a cast that pretty much guarantees I’ll watch your movie sooner or later.
While the trailer doesn’t feel like anything too special, I did get one good laugh out of this, as well as a handful of well-earned smiles, maybe this will turn out to be something more than just another gentle, cute, forgettable indie comedy. Brother is out in theaters on August 26th (probably in limited release).
