Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Gary Sanchez Productions may be brazenly copying a successful formula, but least they're doing a top-flight job of it. Replacing Bridesmaids's excretory gags with an equal volume of blowjob jokes, while maintaining pretty much equal levels of Rebel Wilson, Bachelorette stars Lizzy Caplan, Kirsten Dunst, and Isla Fisher as Wilson's trio of bridesmaids who, you know, get into some predictably wild and unexpectedly ribald situations involving James Marsden, strippers, and a Party Down reunion among Caplan, Adam Scott, and a bowtie. Watch the NSFW trailer below, then prepare yourself for the deluge of articles about women being vulgar and funny... again.

When the evil Pitch enacts a plan to turn children's dreams into permanent nightmares--an inevitable change that really shouldn't transition until at least early adulthood--Santa, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny and Sandman join forces to fight the threat in DreamWorks Animation's latest CGI thing, Rise of the Guardians. But the mythical Child Protective Services can't do it alone: as this latest trailer reveals, they also need to recruit Jack Frost, as he has, in Santa's vaguely-Russian words, "something very special inside." The confidence to walk around with the hair of Ellen DeGeneres?

This is one of them.

Warner Bros. made another one of those CGI owl movies? No! But I thought that at first, too. It turns out this is a different CGI movie that is also something about Guardians. This time, DreamWorks is behind it, and these so-called "Guardians" are not CGI owls but CGI whatever you'd call Santa, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, and Sandman. CGI mythical pedo-benefactors? Something like that. Anyway, those four--led by Santa, appearing here as Nicholas St. North, a man covered in prison tattoos and voiced by Alec Baldwin's loose attempt at a Russian accent--all team up to face off against the Jude Law-voiced Pitch, who hopes to cover the world in darkness. It's sort of like The Avengers, but not with superheroes. With mythical pedo-benefactors.

Who's that down there, slowly meandering up the trail between beloved '80s comedies and broad modern bullshit (as forged by Ivan Reitman)? Why, if it isn't John Landis. Having not directed a feature-length work of fiction since 1998's oh-so-1998-looking Susan's Plan, Landis has mounted his comeback in what would, at first, seem like a safe bet: a based-on-a-true-story period caper comedy starring Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis, Isla Fisher, Tim Curry, Christopher Lee, and Tom Wilkinson. How could that go wrong? Wacky sound effects and voice over is a start:

Isla Fisher continues down the bubbly-generally-agreeable-pretty-face acting path with two new romantic comedy roles probably turned down by Amy Adams. Variety, please give the specifics:
Fisher, who last starred in "Confessions of a Shopaholic," is attached to topline and produce "Life Coach," a comedy about a young woman who consults a life coach who turns out to be messed up. Liz Cackowski and Maggie Carey are writing the script.
Fisher is also attached to star in an untitled romantic comedy based on a French script called "Un Jour mes princes viendront" (One Day My Princes Will Come). The studio wouldn't disclose the logline but has hired Audrey Wells ("Under the Tuscan Sun") to write the script.
Before you callously point out that a woman consulting a life coach doesn't sound like much of a comedy, make sure you finish the sentence: the life coach "turns out to be messed up"! I think we can all agree that a "messed up" any-profession is hilarious no matter how you approach it.
Hopefully the One Day My Princes Will Come script can match that comedy by making one prince "totally whack" and the other "index finger pointed at the ear and rotating in small circles."
God, women love shopping so much. So much, in fact, that they're shameful of just how much they love shopping, and they give weepy (women weep constantly) confessions where they admit to being literally addicted to shopping, and then novels are written about these "shopaholic" women, and movies are based on those novels, and their posters are filled with shopping-based puns, and here's one of them.

Isla Fisher loves Jews
Look, I love SNL digital shorts - in fact, I'm wearing them! HAHAHA! Sorry for that. Anyway, Andy Samberg is probably one of the funniest guys on SNL right now, which means I'll probably going to see this movie. But the fact that they not only stole the "cool whip" joke from Family Guy but also decided to put it in the trailer gives me pause. If only it gave me paws.
I wonder how Isla Fisher feels about guys who make bad puns. How you doin'.
