An All-New Will & Grace Mini-Episode Has Arrived – Watch It Now!

September 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

will-and-grace-2016For the last couple of days, the cast of Will & Grace have been teasing a mysterious reunion. Rumours of what it was swirled from it being a pilot for a possible resurrection of the show, to a PSA forHillary Clinton. Well, it’s turned out to be far closer to the latter than the former, but it does mean we’ve got a new episode!

The 10-minute episode allows Will, Grace, Jack & Karen to take on the 2016 US election. As you might expect, Will’s all for Hillary, with Karen is cheerleading for Trump, while Grace, as always, doesn’t know as much as she thinks she does. In the end, it all comes down to Jack.

It might be 10 years since we last saw them, but it’s bizarre how it’s like they’ve never been away. It’s also nice that while it’s been made for the election, it does feel like real Will & Grace. And can I just say, Megan Mullally is looking awesome! [Read more…]

Is A Will & Grace Reunion Coming? The Cast Hints Something’s Happening

September 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

will-and-grace-reunionIt looks like some sort of Will & Grace reunion is happening. Yesterday the cast posted shots on social media showing that the four main characters are back together for… something.

That’s been followed by a mysterious teaser which still doesn’t quite explain what they’re up to. Suggestions have ranged from a one-off reunion special to a short film in support of Hillary Clinton and against The Donald. The latter seems more likely as the teaser hints towards the upcoming Presidential election and we really can’t imagine Will, Grace, Jack and Karen will come out in support of Trump (well, Karen probably would, but that’s enough reason not to vote for him on its own).

Whatever the quartet is up to, it’ll be great to see them back together again, even if only briefly. Take a look at some of the pics and teaser below. [Read more…]

Why Him? Trailer – Overprotective Bryan Cranston doesn’t like James Franco

June 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

why-him-slideSynopsis: ‘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 in the US in December, but no UK date is firmly set yet.

Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Date and Switch (DVD Review)

February 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Nicholas Braun, Hunter Cope, Dakota Johnson, Megan Mullally, Sarah Hyland
Director: Chris Nelson
Running Time: 91 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: February 9th 2015

Michael (Nicholas Braun) and Matty (Hunter Cope) have been friends since they were little kids, but now it’s coming to the end of high school. In time honoured film fashion, they decide to make a pact to lose their virginities before prom – after which they’ll celebrate by eating a tray of pot brownies.

There is one wrinkle though, as Matty hasn’t told Michael that he’s gay. When he does – and after a bit of an initial freakout – Michael gets on board with the idea and even tries to help Matty get into the swing of the gay world. However Matty finds that difficult, as he’s still a bit of a stoner dude and isn’t sure how to be gay in a world where he doesn’t fit into any of the stereotypes he’s seen. [Read more…]

G.B.F. (Cinema/VoD)

March 21, 2014 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Michael J. Willett, Paul Iacono, Megan Mullally, Sasha Pieterse, Evanna Lynch
Director: Darren Stein
Running Time: 92 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: March 21st 2014

There have been several attempts at making gay-themed teen comedies, but most have failed in one way or another. Either the acting was abysmal or more commonly the script lacked wit and direction, feeling more dumb and dull than entertaining and memorable. G.B.F. is certainly a step up from those, with more polished production values, a great cast (including a fair few recognisable faces) and a script with both charm and wit. [Read more…]

G.B.F. UK Trailer – Does everyone need a gay best friend in Darren Stein’s comedy?

February 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


We enjoyed G.B.F. (Gay Best Friend) when we caught it at the Iris Prize Festival, and now Peccadillo Pictures is setting out to let the rest of the UK get a look at the comedy. It’s due in British cinemas on March 21st, on demand March 22nd and on DVD April 7th. But before then you can take a look at the new UK trailer, (which was initially released via DigitalSpy).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Meet Tanner (Michael J. Willett) and Brent (Paul Iacono). They are two gay best friends.  Brent longs for the spotlight and believes that coming out will make him instantly popular as this year’s must-have teen girl accessory; North Gateway High’s very first G.B.F. (or Gay Best Friend). Tanner on the other hand, would rather fly under the radar and finish high school without ever being noticed.

When things don’t go according to plan and Tanner is outed instead of Brent, the two boys go from B.F.Fs to instant frenemies. Enter the three most popular girls in school — queen-of-mean bombshell Fawcett, drama club diva Caprice, and sweet, Mormon good-girl ‘Shley, who launch an all-out social war to win Tanner’s status-enhancing friendship.

‘Featuring an all-star cast including Desperate Housewives’ Andrea Bowen, Will & Grace’s Megan Mullally, Orange Is The New Black’s Natasha Lyonne and Harry Potter’s Evanna Lynch. From the director of cult 90s teen movie JAWBREAKER comes this comic send-up of American high school clique culture in the vein of MEAN GIRLS and AMERICAN PIE’ [Read more…]

G.B.F. Clip Debuts – Fresh look at the LGBT teen comedy says ‘You’re A Gay Now’

November 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


We enjoyed G.B.F. when we caught it at the Iris Prize Festival (you can read our review here), but it hasn’t gone on general release yet. Now a new clip has debuted, alongside the news that in the US the comedy will be available exclusively on DIRECTV from November 22nd through December 19th, before it debuts in cinema this January!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In G.B.F., social warfare erupts when three high school clique queens battle for supremacy: drama diva Caprice (Xosha Roquemore), Mormon princess ‘Shley (Andrea Bowen) and blonde fashionista Fawcett (Sasha Pieterse). When unassuming Tanner (Michael J. Willet) is outted, he finds himself cast as the hottest new teen-girl accessory: The Gay Best Friend. The clique queens immediately pounce and makeover Tanner into their ideal arm candy, forcing him to choose between popularity and the true friends — including his own B.F.F. Brent (Paul Iacono) — that he’s leaving behind.’

Take a look at the new clip above. You can watch the trailer here. [Read more…]

G.B.F. – Iris Prize 2013 Review

October 16, 2013 By Scott Elliott Leave a Comment

Starring: Michael J. Willett, Paul Iacono, Megan Mullally, Sasha Pieterse, Evanna Lynch
Director: Darren Stein
Running Time: 92 mins

An American high school’s three popular girls vie with one another to win the most fashionable prize of all – the Gay Best Friend. This is much to the chagrin of newly-outed Tanner, who becomes the school’s ‘official’ gay guy, and finds himself and the relationships of those closest to him tested by the new-found power and status thrust upon him.

Described as ‘Mean Girls meets Clueless’ G.B.F isn’t short of style, or the usual collection of high school movie tropes, all brought together in a slick and sweetly sexy coming-of-age movie. [Read more…]

Megan Mullally & Jennifer Coolidge Will Have A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

August 29, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Megan-MullallyMegan Mullally gained legions of fans as Karen in Will & Grace, but she’s mainly made do with supporting roles that haven’t really shown he full talents. Now THR reports that she and another larger than life scene-stealer, Jennifer Coolidge, have signed up for Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner are already cast in the film, based on Judith Viorst’s 1972 children’s book, which focuses on Alexander (newcomer Ed Oxenbould), a young boy who wakes up with gum in his hair, and as the title suggest, his day gets progressively worse and worse. Steve Carell is set to play Alexander’s father, with Garner as his mother.

There’s no news on how Mullally and Coolidge will fit into the film.

Miguel Arteta directs, based on a script by Rob Lieber, with Disney backing the movie.

G.B.F. Trailer – Everyone wants a gay best friend in the new teen comedy

April 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


A few weeks ago we posted a behind-the-scenes look at the new comedy G.B.F. Well, now it’s time for the trailer, which makes the movie look like it’s going to be a lot of fun. The film premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 19th, but you can get a taste of the movie above.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘G.B.F. tells the story of two closeted best friends, Tanner (Michael J. Willett, United States of Tara) and Brent (Paul Iacono, The Hard Times of R.J. Berger). Brent longs for the spotlight and has a plan that will make him the most popular kid in school. He believes that coming out will make him instantly popular, as the newest must-have teen girl “accessory”: The G.B.F. (Gay Best Friend). Tanner on the other hand, would rather fly under the radar and graduate from high school without ever being noticed.

‘When things don’t go according to plan and Tanner is outed instead of Brent, the two boys go from B.F.F.s to instant frenemies and the three most popular girls in school — queen-of-mean bombshell Fawcett (Sasha Pieterse, Pretty Little Liars), drama club diva Caprice (Xosha Roquemore, Precious) and sweet, Mormon good-girl ‘Shley (Andrea Bowen, Desperate Housewives) launch an all-out social war to win Tanner’s status-enhancing friendship.’

Hopefully it’ll get a more general release later this year. [Read more…]
