Ricky Gervais’ new movie is funny, for sure, but most notable for its genuine sweetness.

Kevin Carr breaks down the week’s releases, looking at Funny People, Aliens in the Attic, and The Collector.

Our man on the scene Kevin Kelly reports in with his Funny People junket report, including interviews with Judd Apatow, Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and more.

Deeper than most comedies, funnier than most dramas, and Judd Apatow’s most mature film. Gird your loins Rejects, as Funny People has arrived. Come inside to see what we think about it.

And on top of Danny Trejo it’s Michelle Rodriguez, Jonah Hill and Robert De Niro!

Universal Pictures has released a full-length red band trailer for Judd Apatow’s upcoming comedy Funny People today, which fails to feel very red band, but does deliver some laughs.

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.

Ricky Gervais and Matt Robinson’s tale about a world where no one has ever lied, until now.

MTV has posted a brand new video from the set of the upcoming comedy Get Him to the Greek, which will see the return of Russell Brand as his out-of-control rock star alter-ego Aldous Snow, a role that he played in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Rumors are starting to emerge that Superbad star Jonah Hill turned down a role in Transformers 2 in order to avoid being typecast. This is only interesting when we consider that he is signed on for another Apatow film.

“Just Add Water” follows Ray Tuckby (Dylan Walsh of Nip/Tuck) as his life falls apart and he’s reborn from the ashes in this off-beat indie comedy.

Superbad star Jonah Hill is taking the pen to the pad and jottin’ down words. Words, that when they are put together reasonably and rationally, should look something like an adaptation of 21 Jump Street for the big-screen.

Just as Michael Bay said, the pre-production media whirlwind around Transformers 2, next summer’s most anticipated film, has been full of misdirection and hot air.

Word on the street is that Jonah Hill is in early talks to co-star in the sequel to last summer’s mega-awesome mega-hit as, one can only guess, the overweight comedic sidekick.

It’s a dark day for me. A tragic, listless day that makes me want to watch Bloodrayne to remind myself that life isn’t that bad. But it is, because today’s the first day in my life that I’ve read about a new Judd Apatow movie and groaned instead of jumping for joy.
