Adam Sandler with his co-star, your mom.

MTV has the red-band trailer for Adam Sandler’s latest, That’s My Boy, starring Andy Samberg, featuring cameos by Rex Ryan and Vanilla Ice. It looks like Sandler has ditched the family-friendliness of his last few films, but not the need to perform entire movies in a silly voice. HE’S GAWT A FACKIN’ BAWSTON ACCINT IN THIS ONE, CAWKSUCKAH! Sandler plays Andy Samberg’s ne’er-do-well, estranged father who comes back in his life to show him blah blah blah who cares. There are cameos from Jets coach/pussy lover Rex Ryan and proto-Durst Vanilla Ice, and while it doesn’t exactly look good, at least it was directed by the guys who wrote Hot Tub Time Machine (with a re-write by Ken Marino and David Wain, according to IMDB) and not one of Sandler’s dipshit flunkies like Dennis Dugan. I’m not going to lie, I definitely laughed at “You puked on my dress and then f*cked it?!”

Finally, something relatable.

As we’ve previously learned about Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim play directors who are tasked with creating a billion dollar movie and of course they screw it up. So they choose to set up a new business in an abandoned mall and hilarity ensures as their delightful characters – played by Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, John C Reilly, Will Forte and others – stop by for zany adventures.

We also know that it pissed a ton of people off at Sundance recently.

At least one couple storming out of the theater actually hollered back at the screen. Heidecker and Wareheim could barely contain their glee at a post-screening Q&A. “What’d he say?” Heidecker demanded.

The incident happened during a scene where the two guys are riding around in a cart chasing hobos out of the derelict mall, screaming “Get the f— out!”

A man stomping out of the theater at that moment shouted back, “We f—ing ARE!” About two dozen people had already fled before that, and many more took off after. About two-thirds of the audience remained by the time the credits rolled. (Via Entertainment Weekly)

The rest of that article is totally worth the read, because their interaction with the pissed off audience is hilarious.

The directors will brave on with their creation, which hits theaters on March 2, but Billion Dollar Movie is actually already available for download and On Demand as well. In fact, they’re so hellbent on success, that Heidecker and Wareheim have spent the past few weeks tracking down a number of celebrities, and making them sign a pledge to not only see the movie in theaters, but also to bring at least one family member with them, while also swearing to not see The Lorax.

Thankfully, Tim and Eric recorded these celebrities making and signing their pledges and I have a bunch of them after the jump.

Celeste and Jesse Forever, a rom-dramedy (I’m sorry) starring Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg, has been picked up by Sony Pictures classic. The film was directed by Lee Toland Krieger (grandson of character actor Lee Krieger) and co-written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack. And Elijah Wood plays a gay dude in it, so there’s that. Assorted reviews:

It’s a nice ninety-minute break from some of the more serious fare, although- while venturing near BRIDESMAIDS levels of hilarity at some points (minus the gross-out factor), it also manages to squeeze in a nice little relationship story about how the partner we take for granted, just might be the one thing that keeps us from going off the deep-end. -Joblo

Celeste and Jesse Forever has a bit of an identity crisis but it ends up being very pleasant, thanks in large part to Jones. -SlashFilm

The script not only provides a showcase for her dramatic range and comic timing, but also her ability to write hilarious dialogue and situations.  But in a bizarre twist, her performance ends up carrying her script’s stumbling blocks and clumsy ending.  Even when she’s her own worst enemy, Jones comes out the victor. -Collider

A likable and bittersweet relationship film that doesn’t telegraph its intentions, Celeste and Jesse Forever borrows tropes from the rom-com playbook and has enough laughs to be mistaken for one but ultimately doesn’t want to be pigeonholed. -Hollywood Reporter

In What’s Your Number, opening September 30th, from director Mark Mylod (Ali G Indahouse), based on Karyn Bosnak*’s novel, protagonist Anna Faris hears that “in America, 96% of women who’ve been with 20 or more lovers can’t find a husband.”

Naturally, she dedicates her life to this statistic, trying to find Mr. Right from the pool of dudes who’ve already been up in her (who are all wacky comedy actors!) to keep her number under 20.  Then one day, a super-handsome, down-to-Earth, fellow Caucasian played by Chris Evans bumbles into her apartment.  They make a deal that he’ll help her track down her exes, and she’ll help him escape his.  How Chris Evans would be able to help a stranger find her ex boyfriends, I have no idea.  Maybe he’s a super-hot private investigator?  But fine, I’ll go with it.  WILL ANNA BE ABLE TO FIND MR. RIGHT WHEN HE’S BEEN RIGHT THERE ALL ALONG?  WILL SHE BREAK HER OWN SILLY RULE SHE MADE AT THE END OF ACT 1 IN ORDER TO GET WITH HER OBVIOUS LOVE INTEREST AT THE END OF ACT 2???  Friends, I don’t know the answers to these questions because I’ve never seen a movie before. But I know girls do actually do that thing where they try to sleep with guys they’ve already been with to try to keep their number down.  That’s why I recommend getting to them early, at like 11 or 12, that way every time they get horny your peen gets grandfathered in.

*Bosnak is a former television producer whose claim to fame was turning her $20,000 credit card debt (result of her addiction to designer clothes) into a website called SaveKaryn.com, where she solicited donations to help pay it off.
