Trailer

Paul Rudd with Steve Carrell again and now Zach Galifianakis is added to the mix :cool:

thorbarry

that looks enjoyable

Paul Rudd has a pretty high hit rate so could be good.

Also has Jermaine Clement and Ron Livingston in the credits which should be a good omen.

Mickeroo

Like everyone involved but something about the trailer doesn't click with me.

Basq

So it's essentially Steve Carrell as Mr Bean?



.. PASS!

It looks like a bit of harmless fun. Come on Basquille, admit you laughed at the reconstuction of the last supper!

Basq

The "mouse-terpieces" quip was funny.. but can't say I laughed at anything else.

This is being really heavily advertized over here in Canada (and I guess the US also) That trailer isn't good at all, this is two of the ones that are currently on during the ad breaks.

I actually think it looks hilarious. Plus Paul Rudd and Zach Gali..Gali...Galimimus are my 2 favorite comedians atm.

Has anyone seen the original?

^ I have. It's really great. Would definitely recommend it to anybody. Remake doesn't look up to much to be honest.

It's hilarious, I can highly recommend it. Jacques Villeret is a comic genius.

You can get it for a fiver on Amazon and what's great about it (as I mentioned on a recent thread on subtitled films) is how well the subtitles reflected the comedy of the film, not just literally what they were saying. There's a lot of wordplay which they tried to ensure would make sense (and still be funny) in English.

What I mean is, they didn't just translate the language, they translated the humour too.

Previews this weekend. Looking forward to watching it

Took me AGES to get this right.

Phonetically it's 'Gal-ih-fin-ah-kiss'.

This looks like a contender for the worst movie ever made with the worst actor ever born: Steve Carell.

Why don't you get personal about this and tell us what you really think :P

I usually don't pay much heed to this type of film but I have to say this looks sort of interesting.

Exclamation Marc

Was that Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords fame?

Seems like a decent enough cast for a comedy. Love Paul Rudd and Zach Galifniiiiiiiaeh....him, and Steve Carrell sometimes gets it right, so it could be a fairly enjoyable "leave your brain at the door" film.
