Girl Most Likely Trailer: Kristen Wiig Recovers With Mom Annette Bening

It's been two years since Kristen Wiig killed it in Bridesmaids, and I've been anxious to see her headline another comedy.

by Shannon Vestal

It's been two years since Kristen Wiig killed it in Bridesmaids, and I've been anxious to see her headline another comedy. In the trailer for her latest movie, Girl Most Likely, she's certainly funny in the role of Imogene, though the laughs may come from a darker place. Her playwright character is trying to deal with career failure, and when she lands in the hospital after a meltdown, she has to go live with her self-involved mother (Annette Bening) at her Jersey Shore home. There, she's exposed to her mom's sleazy boyfriend (Matt Dillon) and the cute young guy (Darren Criss) who's renting a room in the house.

Though it looks like Wiig gets to do a little physical comedy, she seems to be playing more of a straight man while Bening gets to be a bit more outrageous. Even so, Wiig acting morose is still really funny, and I especially enjoyed her interactions with Dillon and Criss in the trailer. Girl Most Likely opens in limited release July 19, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

The Big Wedding Review: 5 Similar Movies to Watch Instead

If you're a romantic-comedy lover with a soft spot for wedding movies, then trust me — you've already seen The Big Wedding.

by Shannon Vestal

If you're a romantic-comedy lover with a soft spot for wedding movies, then trust me — you've already seen The Big Wedding. The premise itself probably sounds familiar: when a family comes together for a wedding, hijinks ensue, people don't get along, and secrets are revealed. Even most of the cast members have played similar roles before. Diane Keaton and Robert De Niro play the groom's parents, Katherine Heigl is the bitter sister, and Amanda Seyfried plays the bride. And the unoriginality doesn't stop there! If you're tempted to watch The Big Wedding, then let me advise you that you can get the same fix by watching the movies below. Their accomplishment: they each tackled elements of The Big Wedding first — but better.

It's Complicated: In Nancy Meyers's comedy It's Complicated, the romance between the divorced couple played by Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin feels organic and realistic. That's not the case for Keaton and De Niro's characters in Ellie and Don, the divorced parents of groom Alejandro (Ben Barnes) in The Big Wedding. Oh, it is complicated for them — despite the fact that they haven't been married for over 10 years, sparks still fly between them during the wedding weekend — even though he's already moved on with someone else. When Ellie and Don move closer to a reconnection, it's icky and doesn't make sense for their characters.
Wedding Crashers: The Big Wedding is rated R, so there's a healthy dose of raunchy humor, but there's nothing you haven't seen before, especially if you've seen Wedding Crashers. There is even one scene that is straight out of the Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn classic. For frisky family members and R-rated wedding jokes, just watch Wedding Crashers.

Get the rest of the list after the jump.

Catching Fire Teaser: Katniss and Peeta Are Back!

Those who were watching the MTV Movie Awards got a special sneak peek of Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson in Catching Fire — and we have it right here, too!

by Maggie Pehanick

Those who were watching the MTV Movie Awards got a special sneak peek of Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson in Catching Fire — and we have it right here, too! The clip shows some gruesome scenes from the book (like Gale's whipping) and hints at the impending revolution — along with a steamy kiss between Gale and Katniss. We even get a look at Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee, but unfortunately there's no look at the tropical arena just yet.

The second Hunger Games movie isn't coming out until Nov. 22, so thank goodness we're getting a look at Katniss, Peeta, and the whole crew to tide us over until then. Did you miss it? No worries — we've got the teaser after the jump.

Even if you aren't a fan of weddings, there is one event of wedding season that we all love: bachelorette parties! The bachelorette party is the final shebang of singlehood for the bride-to-be, and the girls' night out is traditionally filled with alcohol, phallic-shaped accessories, and shirtless men.

To get our point across, we're illustrating these bachelorette party dos and don'ts with GIFs from movies like Magic Mike, Bridesmaids, and Bachelorette, along with TV shows like SNL and The Bachelor.

At this point, the actors on Game of Thrones have become inextricable from their onscreen personas — blame their distinctive Winterfell costumes and hairstyles. It's jarring seeing them out of costume, and it's even more jarring to see them in different roles. And when these actors aren't on Game of Thrones, their other jobs are pretty diverse — do you know who the Harry Potter alums are, the Downton Abbey dwellers, or the ones who've been spotted in superhero blockbusters? Click through to see the Game of Thrones cast as you've never seen them before.
