The Lonely Island Film On It's Way

By
Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone will star in the comedy set in the music world while Schaffer and Taccone will co-direct.

The trio behind "Dick in a Box", "Like a Boss" and "I'm on a Boat" will be bringing their comedic and musical talents to the big screen.



Universal has acquired an untitled project with The Lonely Island (comprised of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone). They will also star in the comedy, which is set in the music world.

Judd Apatow is producing via his Judd Apatow Productions banner, along with Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone. Universal’s senior vp of production Erik Baiers will oversee the project for the studio.
The comedy group The Lonely Island found fame for their work on Saturday Night Live, where Samberg was a cast member and Schaffer and Taccone were writers. Hit skits like "I'm on a Boat" led to the release on an album, Incredibad, in 2009. The trio exited SNL after the 2011 and 2012 seasons. In 2013, they released The Wack Album, which featured some of the biggest names in music including Lady Gaga, Maroon 5's Adam Levine and Justin Timberlake.

Samberg currently stars on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and his recent film credits include That's My Boy and Grown Ups 2. Schaffer directed The Watch the the groups' first film Hot Rod, and appeared in Neighbors and Grown Ups 2. Taccone directed MacGruber and appeared alongside his collaborators in Neighbors and The Watch.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Movie Review: #Vacation

By Matt Cummings
Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...
