Like one of this summer's biggest comedic hits, Knocked Up, The Brothers Solomon finds a lot of funny in childbirth - and conception, for that matter. "Arrested Development"'s Will Arnett and Will Forte of "SNL" play brothers who make it their mission to give their ailing father grandchildren before he dies. My girl Kristen Wiig costars as the woman they impregnate with all their hopes and dreams, and Jenna Fischer makes an appearance, too. Apparently, Will Arnett said this movie was "possibly the funniest script" he'd ever read, and I am willing to trust the man's sense of funny. To see the trailer before The Brothers Solomon opens next Friday September 7, read more

Movie Preview: The Slammin' Salmon

Good news for fans of the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, famous for their cult comedy classic Super Troopers: their latest film, The Slammin' Salmon, which languished on a shelf waiting for a distributor, got picked up by a studio this week for a release in December. And that's not all; there's a new trailer for the film, featuring not just the group's faces, but one very welcome one: How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders! Jim Gaffigan and Will Forte also have parts.

The movie is set in a high-end restaurant, and Smulders and the others play servers challenged to make the most money in one night for a shot at $10,000. The humor looks like the same that made Super Troopers so beloved, so I really hope that Salmon is just as funny. To see the trailer, just read more.
