So, Ed Helms Will Star In The 'Vacation' Reboot/Spinoff
Ed Helms, you duplicitious bastard! “I have no idea where that bubbled up,” Helms told us this spring about rumors he was going to be in New Line's reboot/spinoff/sequel to the "Vacation" franchise. “I don’t know where that came from. It’s nothing I k...

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...

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." Strange things are afoot in the cosmos as Jeff (played with affable confusion and large-framed, good-hearted charm by Jason Segel) is trying to keep his eyes open for what the universe might be telling him, in terms of his destiny and purpose. Also, his mom Sharon (Susan Sarandon) would like it if he could get his ass off the couch in her basement and go to Home Depot to get wood glue to fix a broken pantry door...

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. Earlier this year, the Helms-led "Cedar Rapids" brought in a fairly underwhelming $6 million, though the picture did have some decent legs in limited release. Meanwhile, Galifianakis' dramedy "It's Kind Of A Funny Story" also petered out at $6 million last fall. Sure, he starred in "Due Date" as well, but that was mostly sold on its connection between Todd Phillips and "The Hangover," and it certainly didn't hurt that Robert Downey Jr. was the co-st...

Warner Bros. Wants To Go 'True North' With Ed Helms
The rise of Ed Helms has been pretty phenomenal. The former "The Daily Show" correspondent got a big career boost joining the third season of "The Office" in 2006 as the hapless Andy Bernard and then a few years later rocketed to stardom in "The Hangover." But the actor has been playing it cool sinc...

Review: 'The Hangover Part II' Is A Lazy, Unpleasant & Unfunny Mess
Unlike most of the summer movies, which seem to be thundering into theaters without any real anticipation beyond the cacophonous marketing hype, "The Hangover Part II" seems to be a film people are unreasonably excited for. The 2009 original, directed by Todd Phillips, has metamorphosed from simply being the biggest R-rated comedy of all time (and winner of a Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy Golden Globe) to being a movie that average filmgoers consider an instant "classic" of the genre and a staple of any fun-lover's DVD collection. (It's also the biggest selling comedy DVD of all time. Jesus.) The prospect of another movie, again sta...
