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

What to Rent: New DVDs This Week

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.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) returns for another adventure at sea in the fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. This time around, Jack is dragged aboard Blackbeard's ship by his former flame, Angelica (Penelope Cruz), and forced to set out with the crew on a quest for the fountain of youth. Despite the onscreen chemistry between Depp and Cruz, the movie drags on with too many action scenes. DVD extras include a blooper reel and audio commentary by director Rob Marshall.

Bad Teacher

Cameron Diaz heads to the classroom as Elizabeth, a foul-mouthed middle school teacher whose main concern is saving up enough money to get a boob job, so that she can lure a new sugar daddy. She eventually sets her eyes on fellow teacher Scott (Justin Timberlake), overlooking the advances of a gym teacher played by Jason Segel. While it's refreshing to see Diaz take on a bad-girl role, the movie's plot is weak and the film is ultimately forgettable. The extras on the DVD include two featurettes and an interactive yearbook.

Horrible Bosses

In this dark comedy, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis star as three friends who are fed up with their respective bosses and hatch a plan to kill them. The evil employers are devilishly good, with Jennifer Aniston playing against type as a filthy-mouthed dentist, Colin Farrell as a balding, drug-addict loser, and Kevin Spacey as a villainous CEO. The very funny ensemble cast is made even better thanks to a great script. The extras on the DVD include deleted scenes and a few making-of featurettes.

Green Lantern

Ryan Reynolds dons a CG green suit to play superhero Green Lantern, the alter ego of pilot Hal Jordan. When Hal intercepts a crashed alien craft and receives a special ring, he becomes part of the Green Lantern Corps and fights intergalactic villain Parallax and scientist Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard). He also finds time to romance fellow pilot Carol Ferris (Blake Lively). While it's not the standout superhero film of the year, Reynolds is a charming lead. DVD extras include additional scenes, featurettes, an extended cut, and a preview for Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

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.

Prom

In this earnest high school comedy, Aimee Teegarden stars as an overachieving straight-A student, Nova, who heads the prom committee. When an unfortunate accident ruins the decor she's been working on for the dance, the principal assigns rebellious student Jesse (Thomas McDonell) to help her rebuild the props. The movie also focuses on some of their fellow students as the class prepares for their big night. While you may know what to expect from the story, the film offers a cute look at teenage romance. DVD extras include a blooper reel and seven music videos.

Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family

Tyler Perry returns as titular character Madea in this dramedy about a family facing a number of problems. The sassy matriarch rallies around her niece (Loretta Devine) as she experiences a health scare, and offers her support to other members of the family as they navigate issues ranging from a failing marriage to the temptation to deal drugs. Madea's antics may feel familiar to audiences who have seen films in the franchise before, but fans of the raucous humor won't be disappointed. DVD extras include four featurettes, including "Madea's Family Tree" and "By-Reen: The Baby Mama From Hell."

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.
