The Best Movie Bromances
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.

Movie Preview: Despicable Me, Starring Lots of Famous Voices
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.
