Like 'Girls,' 'The Mindy Project' Offers a Challenge to the Typical Leading Lady
Like Lena Dunham, Mindy Kaling is the kind of actress you used to see unjustly relegated to the role of the sidekick, the funny best friend. She doesn't look like the type of leading lady common to the romantic comedies with which her character is so enamored.

The Wolfpack Will Go To Tijuana In 'The Hangover Part 3'
While the youngsters of "Project X" filled out Warner Bros. dudes-getting-drunk-and-into-trouble niche this year to the tune of $94 million worldwide (not bad for a low budget movie with no big names attached to it), in 2013 The Wolfpack will be back to show 'em how it's done in &q...

Jeff, Who Lives At Home—movie review
When micro-indie filmmakers Jay and Mark Duplass spun their success with movies like 'The Puffy Chair' into an opportunity to work with full-scale crews and name actors, there were doubts that they could maintain their spontaneous approach and indie credibility.

TIFF '11 Review: 'Jeff Who Lives At Home' Takes The Duplass Bros Mainstream For Their Best Film Yet
As surreal as it is to see a micro-budget Duplass Brothers film start with the stars and mountainous terrain of the Paramount logo, in many ways that contradiction and clash sets the tone for their new comedy "Jeff Who Lives at Home."

Ed Helms To Star In Remake Of French Comedy 'Le Mac'
Besides Bradley Cooper, outside of the "The Hangover" movies, The Wolfpack -- namely Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis -- haven't yet proved their names alone can bring in decent box office receipts.
