I'll see it.

[Watashi]

I won't.

[EyesWideOpen]

Looks funny. I'll see pretty much anything Jason Bateman is in.

[Dukefrukem]

I laughed

Going into this summer I felt like after Bridesmaids, this had the most potential when it came to the big comedy releases. Not sure if the trailer lived up to that expectation, but considering how safe the jokes played, I'll just hope and assume that it's because the movie is as much of a hard R as I've been lead to believe.

[Watashi]

I don't understand the premise. Jennifer Aniston is a horrible boss for dressing in skimpy outfits and wanting to fuck you? And that's a bad thing?

Yeah, pretty sure they addressed that in the trailer, making the same joke you just did.

[MadMan]

The cast is good, but that trailer was meh. I'll wait to see what word of mouth and the reviews say before I see it.

and then taking inappropriate pictures while you're under and threatening to show them to your fiance?

yeah, nothing wrong with that

Aniston does look smokin'

Aniston does look smokin'

It's said she shot a topless scene for the film.

It's said she shot a topless scene for the film.

I heard the same thing for David Wain's Wanderlust. Maybe she finally understands how to get guys to see her movies.

[D_Davis]

Yes she does.

[B-side]

Farrel looks hilarious in this.

[megladon8]

It's said she shot a topless scene for the film.

She also shot a fully-nude scene for The Break-Up, but everything below her upper chest (above her boobs) was cropped out for the release.

However, anyone with Google Image Search can find the un-cropped images easily.

[Ezee E]

I will.

Also like that Charlie Day is given higher billing over Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey.

Hey, remember when Natalie Portman was nude in Closer? Or Black Swan? No? Me either.

Well, I mean, if you wanna be a downer... :sad:

[monolith94]

The way he says "I don't win a lot..." gets me. It really does.

[eternity]

Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis.

The three guys Hollywood is trying to push as comedic straight-guys most.

Christ.

[number8]

The trailer for this played before Bridesmaids and got middling laughs from the crowd, but when Charlie Day said, "Let's kill that bitch!" it brought down the house.

Uncomfortable.

[number8]

Anyway, this doesn't look very funny.

[Mara]

I am deeply uncomfortable with some of the things that are being said about this film.

Specifically, there is a tone of "a gorgeous nympho boss should be a dream, not a nightmare! Otherwise you're not heterosexual."

I find this minimizing of sexual harassment to be really troubling.

Especially since its clear from the trailer that the guy is married/in a serious relationship and she's using it to blackmail him.

People need to not breed.

Okay, so off topic, but whatever, like anyone is going to see this film.

Only once in my life has someone I know been on a talk show. I didn't know him terribly well, but he was sort of peripherally in my group of friends while I was in high school, but he was a couple of years older (19 or 20) and lived locally. He was very good looking and pretty cool.

He was on Carnie! (Carnie Wilson's old talk show, when that still existed.) I heard he was going on, but then he wouldn't talk about it afterward, and I had to find out through subterfuge when it was airing and then set my family's VCR. (I'm so old.)

Anyway, the set up of the show was something like, "I'M SECRETLY IN LOVE, BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW I EXIST!" And there were two girls, pretty and giggly, who were roommates, lived in his building, and were both in love with my friend. They came on the show to tell him how they felt and make him choose between them.

Carnie and the audience really hyped it up, with pre-interviews with the giggly girls, and with my friend. ("Who do you THINK is in love with you?" "Um, I don't know.")

Anyway, they finally did the big reveal, and my friend looked at the girls, looked at Carnie, and said, "I've never seen these girls in my life."

The audience gasped, the girls shrieked indignantly, and started telling him that they lived in his building, and they loved him, and they'd borrowed his spatula once or something.

Carnie asked how he felt about the declaration, and he said, "Really awkward. I don't know these girls. This whole thing is weird."

Everyone was disappointed and awkward. Carnie took questions from the audience, and this big, well-built guy stood up, took the microphone, pointed at my friend, and said, "YOU GAY?"

My friend said, "That's none of your business."

The guy said, "I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, YOU GAY! TWO PRETTY GIRLS WANT YOU, YOU DON'T WANT THEM, YOU GAY!"

And my friend looked like he wanted to kill himself. I'm not surprised he didn't tell us when it was airing. I still feel bad for him (and it's not like we're even friends anymore, or that I've spoken to him in over a decade.) But, seriously. Being heterosexual and male has some really strange expectations on it.
