Synopsis: ‘Over the holidays, Ned (Bryan Cranston), an overprotective but loving dad and his family visit his daughter at Stanford, where he meets his biggest nightmare: her well-meaning but socially awkward Silicon Valley billionaire boyfriend, Laird (James Franco). The straight-laced Ned thinks Laird, who has absolutely no filter, is a wildly inappropriate match for his daughter. The one-sided rivalry – and Ned’s panic level – escalate when he finds himself increasingly out of step in the glamorous high-tech hub, and learns that Laird is about to pop the question.’
The great cast also includes Megan Mullally, Keegan-Michael Key, Andrew Rannells, Casey Wilson, and Adam DeVine. The movie is due out at Christmas.
Take a look at the new red-band trailer below. [Read more…]

I didn’t think it was possible, but they’ve managed to make a trailer for a Zac Efron movie where he doesn’t take his shirt off at all! Instead it focuses on the comedy and the fact that along with Zac are the comedic talents of Adam Devine, Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick.
2016 appears to be the year of Zac Efron comedies that don’t look all that good, but which hope to lure people in on the promise that he’s been in gym a lot of working out hard and will show us the results. We’ve already had Dirty Grandpa, and this summer will bring both Bad Neighbours 2 and Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates. The last of those now has a trailer.
Last week Chris Pratt said in an interview that he was happy for people to objectify him, as it helps to at least slightly balance the books following decades/centuries where the objectification of women has been the order of the day. However he is far from the first male actor who has put his body out there as something for people to ogle, and for the last few years nobody has done as much service to that goal as Zac Efron.
It looks like there’s going to be a mini Pitch Perfect reunion on the set of Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, as Kendrick will reteam with Adam Devine on the movie, which also has Zac Efron set to star.
