This week we have Jeff Who Lives at Home, Project X, and Wanderlust.
Jeff Who Lives at Home looks like a indie comedy, in which the genre tries to hard to inject a purpose into a comedy, but does star Jason Segel. Segel can be hilarious and I'll watch pretty much anything with him in it, so I'll give this film a try despite it having pretty negative reviews from many sources.
Project X is what happens when Blair Witch meets The Hangover. It's a movie about some high school kids trying to throw the biggest, baddest, bash ever and they enlist a guy from the A/V club to document it. So, we have crappy camera work for a big party...Blair Witch meets Hangover. I've seen this film and I wasn't impressed. There are a few moments that were pretty funny, but overall it just didn't successfully keep the laughter up.
Wanderlust sounds like a German porno, but apparently it's not. It's a film that stars Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, which means that it's probably not funny. Both Aniston and Rudd can be funny, but the two of them together just seems like too much of the same thing. He's the everyman that everyone loves and she's the generic, girl next door type. With both main stars being the generic one, where's the contrast? I don't know, the film has potential to be funny, but I'm going to go ahead and guess it's not.
