17.12.10 # Movie Releases # 87 CommentsA Very Harold & Kumar Christmas 3D
Starring: John Cho, Kal Penn, Danneel Harris, Neil Patrick Harris, Patton Oswalt
Director: Todd Strauss-Schulson
Release Date: 4th November 2011
Harold Lee and Kumar Patel cause a holiday fracas by inadvertently burning down Harold’s father-in-law’s prize Christmas tree. To fix the problem, they embark on a mission through New York to find the perfect replacement, stumbling into trouble at every turn. Kal Penn quit showbiz a couple of years back, in one of the odder career moves, to take up a post as Obama’s associate director of public engagement. Well, now he’s back. Both Harold & Kumar movies have got great moments/sequences but neither has been consistently great. The director is new to the series and new to movies, so it’s hard to guess how this will compare. The writers are still on board. This’ll be in 3D. Neil Patrick Harris is back as Neil Patrick Harris.
[Critics - 70%] [Public - 7.1/10] = {Ranked: 10th Best}
Jack And Jill
Starring: Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes, Dana Carvey, Al Pacino, Shaquille O’Neal
Director: Dennis Dugan
Release Date: 11th November 2011
Jack, a family man, must deal with his twin sister Jill, who visits for Thanksgiving and won’t leave. Both roles are played by… Adam Sandler. It’s another likely-not-very-good cross-dressing comedy. It’s another likely-sub-par comedy from Sandler’s production company. The jokes come from the screenwriter of Evan Almighty and Click, and the director of Grown Ups, ‘Zohan and The Benchwarmers. Katie Holmes plays his wife. Al Pacino plays himself, in a new career low.

The Muppets
Starring: Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Charles Grodin, Steve Whitmire, Chris Cooper
Director: James Bobin
Release Date: 23rd November 2011
Gary (Jason Segel) and his Muppet roommate ‘Walter’ help Kermit and Co. get back together and put on a show to save the Muppet Theater when it is scheduled to be destroyed. New character Walter (pictured above holding the ipod) is a huge fan of the Muppets, even though he is a Muppet himself. Rumour is he will be voiced by Michael Cera. There will be cameos from Jack Black, Emily Blunt, Zach Galifianakis, Ricky Gervais, Danny Trejo and Jean-Claude Van Damme, amongst others. It’s great to see The Muppets back on the big screen.
[Critics - 97%] [Public - 8.1/10] {Ranked: Best Of The Year}
The Sitter
Starring: Jonah Hill, Sam Rockwell, Ari Graynor
Director: David Gordon Green
Release Date: 9th December 2011
A foul-mouthed college student on suspension (Jonah Hill) is coaxed into babysitting the kids next door, though he is fully unprepared for the wild night ahead of him. Yes it’s the return of that ’80s staple, the babysitter comedy. This is director David Gordon Green’s second big R-rated comedy of the year, after Your Highness – he must work hard, or not put much care into things. Jonah Hill proved again he’s one of the funniest co-stars around in Get Him To The Greek, but can he carry a movie all on his own?

Being single I have a Hall Pass every day, believe me it’s not as useful as it might appear.
Harold and kumar christmas will be nr 1

“Project X” because I have to say I’m curious about it.
Wanderlust, the full frontal promise got my attention, plus I really like Paul Rudd.

i dont know where everyones heads are at but Skank Robbers is gonna be the f*kin shiiiiiiiiiiit. instant classic
what is Attack The Block about sorry , i dont have cable and i’ve never seen previews of any of these movies lol
It’s a sci-fi comedy horror, set in a British council estate where aliens have landed and a local ‘gang’ of youths have to fend them off. It’s had great reviews.
Everything Must Go classified as a comedy????? Come on … :X
It’s a comedy-drama.
