That’s My Boy Red Band Trailer – Adam Sandler may ruin his son’s wedding
I’m pretty much immune to the charms of Adam Sandler, but he’s undoubtedly popular, as even his movies that are considered flops generally turn a profit when all is said and done. To my eyes, even the trailer for That’s My Boy is painful to view, but it’ll undoubtedly be a big hit. In the movie Sandler plays an absent father who moves in with his son right before his wedding and soon begins sparring with his daughter-in-law, as well as causing chaos in everyone’s lives. It’s due out in June.
Bernie Trailer – Jack Black tries a darker brand of humour
Jack Black and director Richard Linklater scored a big hit School Of Rock, and now they’re getting back together for Bernie, which will see Black trying a darker brand of comedy than we’ve had from him before.

However when he kills her, he goes to great lengths to create the illusion that she’s still alive. Matthew McConaughey co-stars, back with Linklater for the first time since Dazed & Confused. There’s no UK release date set as yet, but it’s out in the US April 27th.

The first poster and promo for this summer’s action comedy, Neighborhood Watch, have arrived, and while they don’t tell us much about the plot, they do reveal that perhaps Ben Stiller, Vinch Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade are taking the whole idea of Neighborhood Watch way too seriously.
