Steve Carell has won awards for starring in one of the most successful shows currently on television and the same can be said for Tina Fey, whose transition from SNL newscaster to 30 Rock star has been beyond fruitful for her career. Both have been actively working on their lives outside television also, filming movies in the off-season of their shows. Let us examine Carell’s Hollywood career since he began his stint on The Office:
Winners
The 40 Years Old Virgin
Little Miss Sunshine
Dan in Real Life
Losers
Get Smart
Evan Almighty
So, he’s doing alright for now, but whether this next film co-starring Tina Fey will even things out or not remains to be seen. The trailer isn’t particularly memorable – in fact, I kind of already forget what it is about and I just watched it a couple of minutes ago – but it seems even the best of American comedies always release trailers full of lameness and the worst jokes. It’s hard to tell here and it will probably be one that I shell out cash for only if the critics or my close friends praise it – but watch and make up your own mind.
“Killshot! That’s a killshot!”
OK, that was actually kind of amusing…This will live or die based on Carrell and Fey – I find them both very likeable and they can certainly rise above lame material, but it definitely lost me as it turned into an action film.
I’m with Bob – it looks amusing.
But fuck man. Is that a Nickleback tune in the trailer? I’m not sure what’s worse, the fact that it’s there or the fact that the band is local. Ugh.

And that’s why I love you Andrew.
Ugh, was that Nickelback on the soundtrack? I was wondering why everything around me suddenly felt drained of life…
Whoops, I’d better stop talking about them – the skies here just got cloudy, my wallpaper is starting to curl up and all my TV stations have test patterns on them.
Blech.
I think one of the best moments in the history of the world was when the fan threw the beer bottle and hit the lead singer of Nickelback in the head. I don’t condone violence usually, but god, it was hilarious.
I love that the hate is mutual.
i dunno, i acutally think this looks pretty funny. i like both of these actors.
Yeah I think it looks kind of funny too. Probably a rental though with the roommates some random Wednesday night with a couple of beers.
I like the (not so) surprise cameos.
