Confirmed Funny Lady Leslie Mann Says Megan Fox Is “Hilarious”

by Jamie Frevele | 12:55 pm, August 7th, 2011

Leslie Mann, that very funny lady who has been showing up in various comedy roles since her feature film debut in 1996′s The Cable Guy and is known as one of the most reliable comedic actresses of our time, was asked about details surrounding the Knocked Up spinoff that will feature the couple played by herself and Paul Rudd. Not much has come out concerning the new movie, which is set to be released next year, but we do know that both Annie Mumolo (co-writer of Bridesmaids) and Megan Fox are in it. Well, we know that the former of those women, for sure, has proven her comedy chops. But what about Fox? According to Mann, she’s doing just fine. Actually, better than fine.

Review: Bridesmaids Is Exactly What We’ve Needed

by Jamie Frevele | 12:30 pm, May 13th, 2011

Like us, after being bombarded with trailers and ads for this weekend’s Bridesmaids, you were probably wondering if the movie was actually “The Hangover with women” or just being billed that way. Sure, it’s not a movie with a superhero in it, but it’s being marketed as an alternative to the chick flick for women, so we consider it to be close to our realm of coverage. We’re all savvy media consumers here, and we know that ads aren’t always what they seem. So when given a chance to check it out, we readily accepted and can tell you confidently: Bridesmaids is not Something Borrowed. It has neither Kate Hudson nor Katherine Heigl in it. It is not a “typical chick flick,” nor is it quite a “gratuitous gross-out comedy.” This is safe territory. We would never lead you astray.

This movie, while not what you’d typically call “geeky,” could certainly be classified as “comedy geeky,” considering the cast, the people behind it, and the fact that those of us women closely connected to the comedy field finally have a movie where we get to tell the jokes and drive the story. And without the goal of romantic love. Finally.

That said: Bridesmaids is an awesome comedy featuring a predominantly female cast and will probably change how female-geared comedy movies will be viewed in the future. That’s the tiniest bit hyperbolic, but it’s been a long time since I, as a woman, walked out of a movie feeling like I was truly invited to the party.
