Awesome Comedies

Listen to Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock wax poetic about testicles and wedding engagements in the red band trailer for the action comedy flick The Heat. We hope the movie can top this trailer.

Steve Carrell, Olivia Wilde, Steve Buscemi, Jim Carrey and Alan Arkin star in this madcap comedy about a Vegas magic act who tries to amp up their aging stage act. We’ll see it just for the hairdos.

Charlie Sheen, Bill Murray, and Jason Schwarzmann star in Roman Coppola’s quirky comedy A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III about a man whose world unwinds when his girlfriend leaves him.

As far as we know, Warm Bodies is the first zombie romantic comedy to hit the big screen. Director Jonathan Levine (50/50) does his best to blend humor and horror in this Feb. 2013 release.

While it’s no Shaun of the Dead, we still got a good number of chuckles out of the Red-Band trailer for this new British zombie flick, if nothing but for double-decker bus kill – and walkers vs. walker.

Looks like this 2010 Sundance Selection is finally being released this June. If the double entendre doesn’t interest you, Adrien Brody’s performance as a very tweaked-out drug dealer should.

(NSFW: Language) While it might be a while before we get to see it here in the states, Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington star in the new comedy/drama Derek. Premieres on Channel 4 in the UK on 4/12.

(NSFW) Seth MacFarlane directs his first motion picture, with Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and himself as Ted, a teddy bear who came to life after a childhood wish. Think The Muppets with swearing.

Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and (big surprise) Helena Bonham Carter reunite for this darkly comedic reinterpretation of the classic gothic soap opera, Dark Shadows. Out this May.

This clip from an episode of ShaftedWriters’ web series Missed Connection starts off innocent enough, but looks and “artsy” guys with large sketchpads can be very deceiving.

A 5-part web mini-series in the vein of 60s spy movies – stylish, sexy and action packed – but with the hyperbolic humor of the 21st century. A must see. Watch the first episode here.

The class of ’99 is back and ready to get all that grown man sh*t out of the way for a taste of the old reckless high school life. It’s not just the boys who are ready to party: MILF! MILF! MILF!

Set at the University of Michigan, Christopher Farah’s Answer This! is the coming of age story of three friends who enter the biggest challenge of their lives – the world of competitive pub trivia.

After a bunch of trailers that had little to do with the movie, we finally get a peek at some more muppety goodness awaiting us in the actual movie, due out this Thanksgiving. And singing chickens.

An evil oilman has plans to tear down their theater, so the Muppets reunite to throw a telethon to raise $10 million to save their stage. The gang’s all here, plus Jason Segel, Amy Adams and Chris Cooper.

With The Green Lantern hitting theaters this week, this new parody teaser for The Muppets new movie hits at the perfect time. We only hope the movie is as amusing as its trailers have been.

(NSFW) John Michael McDonagh’s comedic tale of two cops – an unorthodox Irish policeman and a straitlaced FBI agent – who must join forces to take on an international drug-smuggling gang.

The new muppet movie stars Jason Segel and Amy Adams as a small town couple who head to Hollywood to discover their dreams of hitting the big time, in James Bobin’s Green With Envy.

(NSFW: Language) Dax Shepard abandons comedy to pursue his dream of becoming an international martial arts star – with no formal training, budget or script – in David Palmer’s Brother’s Justice.

Paul Rudd dons a shaggy do for Jesse Peretz’ indie comedy about this slightly daffy dude who ends up moving back in with his family after getting busted for seeing drugs to a (uniformed) cop.

(NSFW: Language) A family man (Jason Bateman) and a bachelor (Ryan Reynolds) wish they could switch places. From the director of Wedding Crashers and the writers of The Hangover.

We know there’s a strange and hilarious adventure awaiting the Wolf Pack in this teaser trailer for The Hangover Part II, as the gang travels to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding. (Thanks everybody!)

Russell Brand, Jennifer Garner and Helen Mirren may be the stars, but to us it looks like Luis Guzmán gets all the best lines in Jason Winer’s Arthur, a modern remake of the 1981 comedy.
