With Bruce Almighty and now this movie, people are soon going to find out that Steve Carell can steal a movie from anyone.

There's a spelling mistake on the title of this thread.
EDIT: Voila, now there isn't.

Comingsoon reported that this movie received an R rating from the MPAA for "some sex-related humor". I bet that Dreamworks will probably resubmit the movie and try to get a PG-13. "Fifty First Dates" got an R rating originally too, I think for all the Sean Astin wet dream jokes.

Did I just get cock-blocked by Bob Saget?

Awesome. I cannot wait for this! Judd Apatow from Freaks and Geeks a producer and David O. Russel an executive producer....

I hope everyone got to see the full trailer. Dreamworks' site is really slow for some reason, but it's worth the download. Just the shot of Will Ferrell with a full beard, near tears, is enough to make me laugh. And "Knights of Columbus, that hurts!" Haha....classic Will.

Quote from: FishbulbI have a feeling this movie might kind of be in trouble. I've heard that the entire ending had to be reshot, the last 45 minutes of the movie. Apparently the test audiences reacted negatively to the original ending (which involved a gang of criminals called "The Alarm Clock Gang", played by Maya Rudolph, Kevin Corrigan, Chuck D, and Justin Long). As a result Rudolph and the others have now been cut entirely out of the movie.

The last time I can remember something like this happening was with the Kids in the Hall movie "Brain Candy", and the end result still turned out OK. But I feel like I trust Will Ferrell and Adam McKay more than I do a bunch of random people in a test audience to decide what's funny. I hope some of this excised material shows up in some form eventually, on the DVD maybe. (There's a ton of cut stuff from "Brain Candy" which has really never been seen anywhere).

i realize i'm responding to an old post, but i just saw brain candy and now it all makes perfect sense. i thought the first half of that movie was really really funny. then it got kind of funny. then it went to seriously unfunny. a lot like their sketches. does anybody else find their sketches to end on a sour  note?
