Friday Funnies: Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, and More

BuzzSugar — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:39:19 PDT

Nothing gets me laughing like some good blooper reels from my favorite TV shows. Grey's Anatomy, in particular, has delivered some pretty good blooper reels in the past, and I always look forward to when the next season's will make its way to YouTube.

This year, ABC put out teasers of the blooper reels for a bunch of its shows, including Grey's, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, and Private Practice. The whole reels are on the DVD sets for the shows, but this is a pretty good taste of all the funny on-set moments that viewers don't get to see. Once again, I'm particularly fond of the Grey's one, but the Private Practice one is a surprisingly funny reel, too. To check out a bunch of the bloopers, just

Go Behind The Scenes with "The Office" Blooper Reel

In case you've ever suspected the set of "The Office" might be the most fun place to work, here's some more fuel for the fire: the bloopers from the show's third season. Most, unsurprisingly, feature Steve Carell in character as Michael Scott, but there are some great Rainn Wilson moments, too. Among the other revelations: Jenna Fischer sneezes a lot, Ed Helms couldn't remember that Andy was his character's name, and Mindy Kaling may or may not know which celebrity baby is Suri and which is Shiloh. These come from the new DVD set courtesy of some enterprising YouTuber, so I'd hurry and watch before they're taken down. Just

The Vow

Channing Tatum stars in this romantic drama as Leo, the husband of a woman (Rachel McAdams) who has recently lost her memory in a traumatic car accident. Leo must painstakingly woo his wife back, as she has no recollection of the past four years in which they met, fell in love, and started a life together. Though the story is an interesting hook, the movie is more depressing than hopeful. The Vow does, however, give Tatum a chance to shine as a serious actor, and, of course, he's not bad to look at for two hours either. Extras include commentary by the director, deleted scenes, and a blooper reel.

Underworld: Awakening

Kate Beckinsale reprises her role as the leather-clad vampire Selene in the fourth installment of the sci-fi Underworld series.

The DVD comes with an abundance of extras, including a special "Creating the Underworld: Picture-in-Picture Experience" viewing option, five featurettes, audio commentary, a blooper reel, and a music video for "Heavy Prey," one of the songs featured in the film.

Eliza Coupe Talks About Getting R-Rated on Happy Endings and Her 90210 Guest Star

Shannon Vestal — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:10:13 PDT

Eliza Coupe is part of one of TV's funniest ensembles on Happy Endings, and when I recently chatted with the actress, I found that she's just as hilarious as her character, Jane. Coupe dished about the hijinks we can expect from the rest of the season, but she also she talked about the Happy Endings footage we may never see: the blooper reel. Coupe told me why it might not be suitable for the public, and she also confessed which of her crushes will make a guest appearance on the show.

BuzzSugar: Which of your costars make you crack up during scenes?
Eliza Coupe: Almost all of them. Honestly, all of them, they all do. If we have a scene with all of us, it's ridiculous. But of course Damon [Wayans Jr.] and I . . . they showed a gag reel at our wrap party a week and a half ago and it was edited down to two hours and nine minutes, and honestly the whole thing was Damon and I, because we completely break all the time with each other. And we do it purposely. We're horrible. The crew after a while is like, "OK, OK, alright, everybody."

Buzz: How does one get their hands on this gag reel?
EC: I know, it's so good! It's totally R-rated though. Damon and I use every single bad word that's been invented, or we invent it ourselves.

Buzz: I hope it's on the DVD.
EC: I know! I hope so too. I wish they would just release it. I think it would be such a cool thing to have it released, but I feel like there would be some serious bans on it though. It would be taken off the Internet, it's so dirty. It is so dirty.

Buzz: How dirty?
EC: Well in Happy Endings, we shoot pretty much everything X-rated, R-rated, NC-17, whatever you want to call it, and then they trim it down to make it suitable for network television.

To find out just how dirty the Happy Endings scripts are before they air and what Coupe said about the season finale, just keep reading.

David Fincher directed the first American adaptation of Stieg Larsson's hugely popular Millennium Trilogy. Starring Rooney Mara in the Oscar-nominated title role of Lisbeth Salander, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is an enthralling (if slightly disturbing) film that introduces audiences to punk hacker Lisbeth and disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist, (Daniel Craig) as they team up to solve a murder in the twisted Vanger family.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Gary Oldman superbly leads an all-star cast that includes Colin Firth and Tom Hardy in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, an adaptation of the British novel. The film takes place in the height of the Cold War and centers around George Smiley, an MI6 agent forced to come out of retirement tasked with uncovering a mole within the agency. Oldman plays Smiley with expert skill and makes this cerebral spy thriller thoroughly engrossing.

In addition to the movies below, the DVDs for Our Idiot Brother, The Art of Getting By, Another Earth, and The Smurfs are also available to rent this week.

Friends With Benefits

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis star as Dylan and Jamie, two Manhattanites who become quick friends and find that they have the same problem: they want to have sex without the burden of a relationship. They start a no-strings-attached sexual relationship, but fall for each other before the credits roll. This romantic comedy is as predictable as it is cute, with plenty of laughs courtesy of the super likable Kunis and moments like JT busting out '90s hits. DVD extras include deleted scenes, a commentary track, and a blooper reel.

One Day

In this adaptation of David Nicholls's novel, Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess play Emma and Dexter, best friends with an occasional romantic streak. The two meet in college and embark on a 20-year friendship, and the film revisits them on the same day each year to depict where they are in their lives and relationship. While fans of the book may not think the film version measures up, the dreamy Sturgess makes this romantic drama worth watching. Extras on the DVD include commentary from director Lone Scherfig, deleted scenes, and a few featurettes.

True Grit

This update of the classic 1960s Western scored 10 Oscar nominations, including one for its young breakout star, Hailee Steinfeld. Steinfeld plays Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old girl who hires a reluctant U.S. marshal, Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), to track down the man who killed her father. She's also aided by a Texas Ranger, played by Matt Damon. I enjoyed the Coen brothers' entertaining drama, mostly due to the fantastic performances from Steinfeld, Bridges, and Damon. The DVD extras include a theatrical trailer and several featurettes about the making of the movie.

Just Go With It

In this romantic comedy, Adam Sandler stars as Danny, a plastic surgeon who's content to be a player until he meets gorgeous Palmer (Brooklyn Decker), a woman he thinks might be the One. When she finds a fake wedding ring he wears to attract women, he lies and says he's soon to be divorced. Next he recruits his employee Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) to pretend to be his future ex, but when Palmer wants to know more, the lie snowballs. The DVD's extras include a blooper reel, deleted scenes, a commentary track with Sandler and a separate commentary track with the director, as well as a couple making-of featurettes.

Gnomeo & Juliet

James McAvoy and Emily Blunt voice the love-struck characters of Gnomeo and Juliet in this animated send-up of Shakespeare's classic work, only with (you guessed it) gnomes. The lovers are from opposing gardens, in which one group of gnomes wears blue hats, and the other wears red. The garden denizens compete in lawnmower races and despise each other until the title characters unite (without the original story's tragic ending). The family film also features new songs by Elton John. The DVD extras include deleted scenes, an alternate opening, and two alternate endings.

I Am Number Four

In this action saga, Alex Pettyfer plays a teenage alien being hunted by an enemy who wants to wipe out his kind. The aliens are being eliminated according to the number they're assigned, and Pettyfer is next, so he's hiding in small-town Ohio to evade them. There, he's guided by an alien mentor (Timothy Olyphant) and falls for a human, played by Dianna Agron. It's not the deepest movie ever made, but the nonstop action makes for fun, mindless entertainment. The DVD features a blooper reel, deleted scenes, and a making-of featurette.

There are lots of A-list faces on this week's new DVD releases, but if you're looking for something a little more kid-friendly, Yogi Bear is also available.

The Tourist

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp team up for this spy caper about a woman (Jolie) who seduces an innocent tourist (Depp) while on the run from authorities looking for her criminal ex-boyfriend in Venice. Johnny Depp takes a break from his typical fare to play a goofy average Joe, while Jolie provides pure eye candy as usual, thanks in part to her wardrobe. Though it's fun to watch these two gorgeous actors play off each other, ultimately they don't generate much heat to keep the weak plot afloat. DVD extras include outtakes, featurettes, and director's commentary.

How Do You Know

Reese Witherspoon stars as Lisa, a neurotic softball player who feels lost after being cut from the National team for being too old. As she struggles to figure out what to do with her life, she crosses paths with George (Paul Rudd), who is going through a life crisis of his own. Though she's already involved with a lovable but dim-witted baseball player named Matty (Owen Wilson), Lisa begins to wonder which guy - if either - is the right one for her. I thought the film was one of the best romantic comedies of 2010, thanks to enchanting performances from the three leads, along with Jack Nicholson. DVD bonus features include delete scenes, a blooper reel, and featurettes.
