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.

Summit Entertainment is jumping on the boy BFF bandwagon. The studio just purchased a pitch for an all-new bromantic comedy titled We Love You, in the vein of this year's Paul Rudd and Jason Segel hit I Love You, Man. (If that's the case, they may want to consider tweaking that title.) The movie focuses on two guy friends who try to undo a sticky situation when they realize that they're both dating the same woman.

The same guys who brought us the Ice Age franchise are back to create another potential hit with the 3-D CGI Despicable Me. Seems like every animated movie nowadays wrangles A-list names, but the Despicable roster is even starrier than most. Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Mindy Kaling, Jack McBrayer — it's like a laundry list of my favorite comedy people.
