Guess what, everyone! Carlos Mencia is finally getting that starring movie role he so richly deserves!
Forest Whitaker, America Ferrera and Carlos Mencia have signed on to star in an untitled family wedding project for Fox Searchlight. Rick Famuyiwa (”Brown Sugar”) is directing the pic from a screenplay he penned. Described as a clash-of-cultures comedy [Shocking -Ed.], story centers on two overbearing fathers (Whitaker, Mencia) who must put aside their differences to plan the wedding of their son and daughter (Ferrera) in less than two weeks.

Mencia’s last role was a bit part in Heartbreak Kid in which he proved he can’t even do a convincing Mexican accent, so I’m sure he’ll do fine opposite an Oscar winner. I mean, look at this picture. I didn’t even have to Photoshop that.
Today on Friday Free For All, FilmDrunk’s official movie reviewer Sexman goes on a rant about Carlos Mencia. Sample:
Carlos Mencia’s comedy is just terrible. All he ever talks about is just Mexican Mexican Mexican Mexican.
If you don’t like Sexman I will fucking fight you. That’s really all there is to it.
If Stuck on You and Fever Pitch didn’t convince you that the Farrelly Brothers have been taking unfunny pills since There’s Something About Mary came out, these two new clips (here and here) from Heartbreak Kid will.
Jerry Stiller playing Ben Stiller’s dad, hey that’s cute, ’cause they’re like actually father and son, right? Ha, that’s funny. I like it because I get it, and I don’t usually, like, get stuff, you know? Good thing I read People Magazine to stay up on the latest news, otherwise I’d be lost right now, haha, lol! I bet his wife has a part in this somewhere, that would be really funny too! Omg! Lol!
And seriously? Carlos Mencia? In the words of Joe Rogan, "What he’s done is he’s figured out a way to tune into a special frequency that retards operate on. He does jokes that are only for dumb people." Couldn’t have said it better myself. For once.
Look for the Farrelly’s to direct the next Dane Cook vehicle.
