That's My Boy Trailer: Adam Sandler Is Andy Samberg's Deadbeat Dad

Becky Kirsch — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:58:51 PST

We're still trying to get Adam Sandler's 2011 movie Jack and Jill out of our minds, but his next project isn't looking any better. In That's My Boy, Sandler stars as a crude, womanizing loser who gets into trouble with the IRS and decides to hit up his wealthy estranged son (Samberg) for cash. As the two collide, Sandler starts infiltrating Samberg's clean, preppy, life - and not at all for the better.

The best part about this trailer is seeing Samberg playing it straight, rather than his typical off-the-wall characters. Unfortunately, the rest of the preview is pretty lame; uninspired jokes, raunchy humor, visible puke, and the like. Even as a Sandler fan, I can already tell that I'm not going to like his character in this; is it too much to ask for him to make more movies like Funny People and Punch Drunk Love? The movie hits theaters just in time for Father's Day, but watch the preview when you

Sundance Snapshot: Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg Are Adorable in Celeste and Jesse Forever

Becky Kirsch — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:22:56 PST

Celeste and Jesse Forever was one of the first films I checked out at Sundance this year, and I'm so glad I did. The cast, which features Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg as the titular characters, was enough to pique my interest, but the smart, relatable, script is what won me over. Here's more on what I thought of the film.

Who's behind it? The film stars Andy Samberg, Rashida Jones (who also cowrote the screenplay), Ari Graynor, Elijah Wood, and Emma Roberts. It was directed by Lee Toland Krieger.
What's it about? Jones and Samberg are Celeste and Jesse, high school sweethearts who have recently decided to separate. The only problem is that they're still BFF: he's living in her guest house, they're still spending all of their time together, and are still living in their own little world (much to the confusion of their circle of friends). Though it's clear that they're not ready to fully let go of each other, an unexpected circumstance forces them both to confront their feelings and make a final decision about their relationship.
What did I think? This movie made me laugh and broke my heart, thanks to Jones and Samberg's chemistry and performances. There are plenty of amazing jokes and one-liners, but more than that, there's a very real story and commentary about how hard it is to let go of someone you love. Jesse and Celeste are so easy to root for, but the film is careful to keep the story real rather than veering into romantic comedy territory. It's also a breakout role for Samberg, who we've mostly only seen doing straight comedy. He's still a lovable goofball here, but he also proves that he's got the chops to handle more serious material. The film was bought by Sony Pictures Classics, so keep an eye out for it in theaters in the next year.

Emma Roberts, Andy Samberg, and Rashida Jones Bring Celeste and Jesse to Sundance

Molly Goodson — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 08:56:50 PST

The cast of Celeste and Jesse Forever hit the Sundance Film Festival to show off their sweet movie on Friday. It's Rashida Jones's first screenplay, and she also stars alongside Andy Samberg in the project. On the red carpet at their premiere, the two gushed about working together, and Andy joked that if he was tasked with winning back an old love in real life, he'd probably revert to "d*ck in a box" tactics. Emma Roberts plays a pop star in Celeste and Jesse Forever and to get ready for the part she revealed that she channeled a little bit of Christina Aguilera in the "Dirrty" days, Britney Spears, and Ke$ha. We also chatted with Elijah Wood about his part in Celeste and Jesse and what it was like to see the The Hobbit trailer for the first time, which he said was "electrifying." Award season darling and The Descendants star Shaliene Woodley slipped in to see the movie, and later in the evening checked out Wiz Khalifa at the Bing Bar.

Katy Perry Gets Some SNL Comic Relief From Matt Damon

Katie Henry — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:25:23 PST

Katy Perry is set to host SNL tomorrow night, but today she was joined by Matt Damon, Val Kilmer, and Andy Samberg on the streets of NYC to film a skit. Katy kept her new haircut hidden under a brunette wig and put on her best smile for the camera. Katy joked about hosting SNL, saying, "I'm up for a challenge, for something new. I love to be challenged . . . I married Russell Brand." Matt's been the featured star on the late-night show in the past, but this time he's just stopping by for a digital short. He's been busy promoting his upcoming holiday release, We Bought a Zoo, and even stopped by The Late Show this week to chat with David Letterman. Matt's made a habit of doing his best Matthew McConaughey impressions during past visits to the talk show, and this time was no different. Damon lightheartedly channeled the other famous Matt after some coaxing from Dave.

Jennifer and Justin Party Post-Movie Awards With Taylor and Lily, Cameron, Emma, and More!

Allie Merriam — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 14:20:29 PDT

The fun continued following last night's MTV Movie Awards with an afterparty at LA's Soho House. The event's host, Jason Sudeikis, mingled with new couple Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, who were spotted getting close and kissing at the bash. Emma Watson was quite the social butterfly after showing a new clip from Harry Potter at the ceremony. She chatted with Bad Teacher star Cameron Diaz before moving on for conversations with Jamie King, Lily Collins, Taylor Lautner, Emma Stone, and Andrew Garfield. Despite rumors, Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez haven't broken up, since he was there to hang out with her and they were spotted heading home hand in hand. Chace Crawford had a guys' night with his Gossip Girl buddy Sebastian Stan, who managed to steer clear of his ex Leighton Meester. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart also swung by the Soho House, but they managed to evade photographers as they cuddled in a corner.

Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg, and Lady Gaga Have a 3-Way

PopSugarTV — Sun, 22 May 2011 15:28:36 PDT

It all started with "D*ck in the Box." Then, there was "Motherlover." This past weekend, Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg assumed their '90s boy-band alter egos for a third time to bring us "3-Way," and the subject matter is exactly what you think it is. The latest SNL digital short picks up right where "Motherlover" left off (complete with Patricia Clarkson and Susan Sarandon as the moms), before heading into a new musical adventure. Watch as the guys take the next step in their relationship (it's OK because there's a honey between them, obviously). It's admittedly my least favorite of the three videos, but there's no denying that adding Lady Gaga to the mix is pretty epic.
