Comedies

It's finally here! Just hours after gracing us with an epic mustache poster, we have the first full trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues. Ron Burgundy and his news team, including Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), are back and ready to tackle a 24-hour news channel. It's now the '80s, and aside from some subtle fashion updates, Ron is basically the same: vain, vaguely racist, and totally hilarious. The trailer is also star-studded, and it gives us a peek at the many cameos from the likes of Kristen Wiig and James Marsden, plus the return of Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate).

Even if you're a longtime fan who's afraid the sequel may not be as good as the original, there's no way you can't be psyched about this movie. I laughed out loud several times and seriously just can't wait for the privilege of hanging out with Ron Burgundy again. Anchorman: The Legend Continues comes out Dec. 20, and you can watch the trailer now after the jump.

Ron Burgundy is back in the building, and he's still kind of a big deal. OK, so he won't officially be back until Anchorman 2 opens in theaters on Dec. 30, but for now, we're getting another look at his infamous 'stache. What do you think: will this be just the beginning in a series of mustache posters? How long will we have to wait until we get a Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) mustache poster?

Since we've gotten details about the New York-set sequel's many cameos and a couple of teasers, my excitement for the film has already ascended to pretty high levels. Hopefully this means the full trailer will be coming out soon!

One of our favorite comedies of the Summer (so far), This Is the End, finally hit theaters this week. Between pictures of the cast (including an ax-wielding Emma Watson), a Real World parody video, and a visit from Seth Rogen and friends, we've been laughing long before the movie actually came out. In case you haven't been paying attention to the apocalypse comedy until now, here's all the news on the film!

• See all the pictures of James Franco's celebrity-filled party, and watch the celebration turn into total destruction.
• Check out how Seth Rogen fared in a game of Cards of Humanity at the POPSUGAR office!
• Take a look at all the other movies This Is the End's cast has made together.
• Watch the hilarious Real World parody starring Franco, Rogen, Craig Robinson, and a couple of cast members from The Real World.

In a world where doing the voice-overs for movie trailers is a man's business, Lake Bell still wants a piece of the action. In the aptly titled In a World . . ., the actress stars in, wrote, produced, and directed this indie about a vocal coach trying to follow in the footsteps of her voice-over-legend father. Other quirky characters in the industry pop up along the way, like those played by Demetri Martin, Rob Corddry, and Nick Offerman.

I don't know what I'm more impressed by: the fact that Bell wrote/directed/produced and appears in the movie or the awesome voices she does in this trailer. The movie charmed audiences at this year's Sundance Film Festival and will open in limited release on Aug. 9. Check out the trailer for yourself after the jump.

If you get déjà vu looking at the cast of This Is the End, then chances are you're a fan of Freaks and Geeks, Knocked Up, or Superbad. In Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's directorial debut, they round up friends and frequent costars James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, and Jay Baruchel (plus Rogen himself, naturally) for a comedy about the end of the world. Rather than being just another installment in their repertoire of film collaborations, This Is the End sets itself apart from their previous projects, because each actor is playing a heightened version of himself — giving them the chance to make fun of each other, while also dealing with the apocalypse. It's unique, meta, and ridiculously funny.

The movie takes us to a party at Franco's house, which is just as weird and star-studded as you'd expect it to be. Rihanna's there, Emma Watson's there, Michael Cera's there doing drugs and alienating people — there's so much celeb-spotting in the first half of the movie that you worry the second, postapocalyptic half can't keep up with all the fun. It's not an issue: when the movie switches gears to show us how Franco, Rogen, and the rest of the guys cope with the end of the world, some truly raunchy, outrageous humor emerges. It may be too over-the-top for some, but if you appreciate the comedies of any of these dudes, then you'll be trying to catch your breath between laughs.
