In new comedy Together Together, a young loner named Anna (Patti Harrison) and a single man in his forties named Matt (Ed Helms) have their perceptions of connection, boundaries and the particulars of love challenged. All after Anna becomes Matt’s gestational surrogate

Rosalind Chao, Timm Sharp, Bianca Lopez and Nora Dunn are among the key cast while Nikole Beckwith directs.

I’ve seen shows and movies about women deciding to be single parents because the right partner never showed up. This is the first one I’ve encountered that’s focused on a man making the choice.

Even though it seems quite clear how this particular tale will end, I’m in anyway, especially since it’s a a comedy.

Fred Melamed, Vivian Gil, Tig Notaro, Julio Torres, Evan Jonigkeit, Sufe Bradshaw, Travis Coles, Jo Firestone and David Chattam also star.

Together Together Release Dates: April 23rd, 2021 (US)…

Taraji P. Henson, Ed Helms, Betty Gilpin and Andrew Bachelor (King Bach) are the stars of Coffee and Kareem. A new comedy about a twelve-year-old’s plan to scare his mom’s new boyfriend, police officer James Coffee, backfiring, and forcing Coffee and Kareem to work together. All so they can save themselves from Detroit’s most ruthless drug kingpin.

Directed by Michael Dowse, additional key cast includes Terrence Little Gardenhigh, Jesse Hutch and David Alan Grier.

I’m looking forward to this because I like Helms, Henson and Gilpin. Plus, that slap at 1:21 into this trailer is amusingly crisp and precise. There’s also the above image of Helms in the hat, which happens to make me smile and or giggle every time I look at it.

Chance Hurstfield, Serge Houde, RonReaco Lee, Samantha Cole, Fraser Aitcheson and Garfield Wilson also star.

Coffee & Kareem Release Dates: April 3rd, 2020 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Tag (2018)

Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Jake Johnson and Jon Hamm are the stars of Tag, a Jeff Tomsic-directed comedy about a group of former classmates who organise an elaborate, annual game of tag that takes them all over the country.

Is it fair that I compare every movie about three or more adult male friends having a great time together and being a certain kind of outrageous to The Hangover (2009)? I’m sure it isn’t, but I really can’t help myself.

After watching this trailer, the subject matter of Tag seems a tad juvenile to have me especially intrigued, but what a pleasant surprise it would be if I ended up really liking this film.

I love a great comedy, and I want that to be the case here, so, give Tag a chance, I must.

Annabelle Wallis, Rashida Jones, Isla Fisher, Leslie Bibb and Hannibal Buress also star.

Tag Release Dates: June 11th, 2018 (US); July 6th, 2018 (UK)…

In new comedy Father Figures, Owen Wilson and Ed Helms play fraternal twin brothers who just found out that their father is in fact very much alive, contrary to what their mother (Glenn Close) had told them their whole life.

Directed by Lawrence Sher, the brothers set off on a road trip to find their dad.

I think there’s some hope that this will be a movie I can watch and enjoy. I certainly want it to be, especially since the concept isn’t particularly ridiculous.

J.K. Simmons, Kat Williams, Christopher Walken and Ving Rhames also star.

Father Figures Release date: December 22nd, 2017 (US); February 16th, 2018 (UK)…

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS – THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE (2017): New Trailer From Kevin Hart, Thomas Middleditch, Ed Helms…

In Captain Underpants – The First Epic Movie, Kevin Hart and Thomas Middleditch are the voices of two mischievous elementary school kids.

Directed by David Soren and based on the popular books by Dave Pilkey, the two very naughty fourth graders hypnotise their principal into becoming their comic book creation, Captain Underpants.

I’m officially intrigued. Yet,  the remaining question is, how distracting will it be that Kevin Hart is voicing a fourth-grader when he generally sounds like a real-life adult? Hopefully, the answer is not at all, at least eventually.

Nick Kroll, Jordan Peele and Kristen Schaal also star.

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie Release Dates: June 2nd, 2017 (US); July 21st, 2017 (UK)…
