I didn’t know he was in it either.

Judd Apatow’s, Adam Sandler starring, Funny People is nearing release, and as such, the online presence is stepping up. In this case we have a website.

Kevin James turns to captive animals for relationship advice. Expect dates filled with poo flinging, leg humping, and awkward sex. (Robert Fure will most likely identify.)

Alright Judd Apatow, you win this round (again).

Get your mind out of the gutter. Ricci will be playing a girl who is totally not a porn star in Born to be a Star which starts filming at the end of April.

Adam Sandler. Chris Rock. Kevin James. Rob Schneider. David Spade. After not making a movie for fourteen years, these comedy kings are back and joining forces for the first time.

The Los Angeles Times website has a blog entitled Everyday Hero, which tracks “handpicked headliens from across the fanboy universe.” And despite the fact that this writer apparently doesn’t know how to spell “headlines,” he stumbles across some useful tidbits worth sharing.

The folks at Universal just sent us over a batch of photos, some old and some new. In the pile of new is a shot of Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen in Judd Apatow’s Funny People.

How (puke-colored) green was our valley in 2008? I offer ten instances in film that did not live up to a certain amount of hype, didn’t get the credit they deserved, or just flat-out disappointed the general public.

Kevin and Neil bring on the fruitcake with their big, fat Christmas special. They question the correlation between Nazis and Christmas with the release of Valkyrie and The Spirit.

FSR’s resident chubby film critic Kevin Carr runs down the reviews on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Valkyrie, The Spirit, Marley & Me and Bedtime Stories.

The folks at Universal would like to give you the opportunity to get in the action on Judd Apatow’s next film, titled Funny People.

For Adam Sandler, the world of movies have always been his playground. In his own films and with his Happy Madison production, he seems to be able to do whatever he wants and still make plenty of money.

With Comic-Con over and done, we want to take a moment to pause and look back, at the year so far. We do this in a format that we like to call “Ten Things We Liked, 5 Things We Didn’t.”

As I watched Mike Myers embarrass himself in The Love Guru, I thought to myself “What was he thinking?” Granted, this was probably an ego project and Myers didn’t necessarily have me and my comedic sensibilities in mind when he wanted to get this flick made. But it brings up a valid question.

Adam Sandler will serve as executive producer of the upcoming thriller “Shortcut”, about brothers who take a rarely used shortcut in their town and find all sorts of unexpected terror. Yes, I’m talking about the “Zohan.”

If the film had been over-the-top throughout, it might have worked. But instead, it settles down at all the wrong places. It’s not that you won’t laugh at the film, but in the down moments, you might just be laughing at the movie’s expense.

That’s right… it’s your chance to mess with the Zohan.

Kevin and Neil shake off the chick flick phenomenon from last week and decide to mess with the Zohan. They also test out their kung fu skills against Jack Black and company. Sadly, no one talks about Peter Dinklage at all, although Kevin did dream about him last night.

I just couldn’t resist doing a play on the title of Adam Sandler’s latest flick, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, even though it looks like Kung Fu Panda will probably be the box office winner this week. But who knows?
