The Change-Up Costars Olivia Wilde And Jason Bateman Actually Get To Kiss In Their New Movie
A photographer snapped this shot of Jason Bateman kissing costar Olivia Wilde while shooting The Longest Week in New York City. And I have to say, good for them!
One of my biggest complaints about The Change-Up was that Jason’s character never got to enjoy being stuck in Ryan Reynolds‘ body; he was so neutered by marriage that he wouldn’t even have a fling with his assistant, played by Olivia Wilde. What’s meant to be a redeeming moment comes off as disappointing. More »

Arrested Development Is Coming Back To TV!
Incredible news came out of today’s Arrested Development reunion panel at the New Yorker Festival: Creator Mitch Hurtwitz announced that the beloved show will return to TV in a ten-episode prequel to the eventual Arrested Development movie! More »
Rumor Has It the ‘Arrested Development’ Movie Will Have a Really Meta Plot
There’s good news on the horizon for Arrested Development fans! According to a source at Screen Rant, Fox and Mitch Hurwitz should be announcing the plot of the movie in the next few weeks. And until the official announcement, there’s also a big rumor (from the same source) that the movie will be incredibly self-referential. Here’s a hint: Who liked the arc where Tobias played George Sr. in a movie about the Bluths? More »

‘The Change-Up’ May Seem Like Escapism for Guys, But It’s Actually a Female Fantasy
This year has already seen several comedies marketed to men in which belabored husbands get to take a break from marriage. You had Hall Pass early in the year, wherein Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis‘ wives gave them carte blanche for a whole week. Today’s big release is The Change-Up, in which Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman switch bodies. Not surprisingly, Reynolds gets the short end of the stick, while Bateman gets to run around as a hot single guy, and catch the attention of his crush Olivia Wilde.
However, both of these movies have one very important thing in common: The guy who’s all talk but never follows through. We’d go so far as to say he’s neutered… and the producers seem to be banking on him as the female moviegoers’ ultimate fantasy. More »
4 Well-Known Body-Swap Movies, and 5 You Haven’t Heard Of
It’s that time again: Magical movie where two people switch bodies and learn that the grass is not always greener and that they should value their own existences, no matter how uncool/directionless they are! The latest offering is The Change-Up, where family man Jason Bateman and stoner playboy Ryan Reynolds wish for each other’s lives. Drugs! Divorce! Naked Olivia Wilde! But before we get to all that, here are nine other movies (compiled by myself and our intern, Molly Horan) that use the same trope, with varying results. You may know more than a few of these, but we guarantee that you haven’t heard of Sex, Drugs, & Natalie Portman! More »
Video: Jason Bateman Charms On ‘The Daily Show’, Admits ‘The Change-Up’ Is Crap
Everyone’s favorite party animal Jason Bateman went on The Daily Show last night, ostensibly to promote his new movie The Change-Up. He was as funny and charming as ever, and his banter with John Stewart was just adorable. But when it came time to discuss the movie, he cut right to the chase and said this: More »
The Change-Up‘s Jason Bateman…Revealed!
Jason Bateman, star of Arrested Development and (sigh) this week’s The Change-Up, has been hard at work in Hollywood for quite some time now. You probably know him as the guy whose career has gone slightly downhill since everyone’s favorite cult hit was canceled, but he wasn’t exactly Sidney Poitier before then, either. But it’s okay! That’s part of why we love him. Jason Bateman was born to play the dimply, caring, nice guy in rom-coms. Discover some facts about the teen idol turned grown-up movie star, after the jump. More »
Gallery: Non-Athletes Attend the ESPY Awards
The ESPY Awards (aka the Excellence In Sports Performance Yearly awards) are presented every year by ESPN. But for some reason, last night’s ceremony had just as many non-athletes in attendance as athletes. Well, I guess someone has to present the trophies or tell jokes while everyone gets into their seats, right? More »
Colin Farrell Is a Better Actor Than People Give Him Credit For
Of the three satanic employers in Horrible Bosses, only one really amuses me. It’s not Jennifer Aniston with her rumored topless scene; and while Kevin Spacey pushing around Jason Bateman will undoubtedly be a lot of fun, he still comes in second to the actor I’m most excited to see play a power-tripping asshole: Colin Farrell. See, despite headlining cheesy sweeping historical epics and brooding war dramas, he’s actually a good actor. The key? Comedy.
Put Colin Farrell in a comedy and he will shine. More »
16 Former Child Actors Who Made it to Adulthood Without Imploding
Child acting is a tenuous thing. It’s difficult to tell when actors are very young whether or not they’ve actually got talent, and sometimes, being exposed to the Hollywood life at an early age can do weird things to a person. But for every one that implodes (I’m looking at you, Lindsay Lohan) or falls into obscurity (Jake Lloyd, much?), there’s also one that manages to make the transition from child to adult actor. It’s not always seamless, and sometimes there are demons to fight; but a lot of them do come out just fine on the other side. Here are 16 of our favorites. More »
Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis Want to Kill Their Employers in ‘Horrible Bosses’
I guess this is the next possible leap from Office Space. Three men are terrorized by their bosses and make a three-way pact to kill them all. From the first trailer for Horrible Bosses, we get a sense of what they’re going through. Kevin Spacey forces Jason Bateman to drink in the morning, then passes him over for a promotion. Jennifer Aniston sexually harasses Charlie Day. Colin Farrell (in a great wig) mocks fat people and the disabled in front of Jason Sudeikis. And yes, that is Jamie Foxx as the assassin for hire.

Jason Bateman says the Arrested Development movie script is “incredible.” – Though Bateman hasn’t gotten to read it yet, he met with Mitch Hurwitz recently and reports that the storylines sound really exciting. The odds are good, he added, that Hurwitz will have the script done by the end of the year. (MTV)
Gallery: Who Was At The Vanity Fair Oscars Party?
If you didn’t get to go to the Oscars, the second best thing is scoring a ticket to the Vanity Fair party. (The third best thing is sitting on your couch and snarkily live-tweeting the event.) Emma Stone was there, along with Jason Bateman and a super cuddly Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. We feel hungover just looking at them all. More »
Video: Simon Pegg’s ‘Paul’ Looks Dubious
We know it’s blasphamy to speak ill of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the creative geniuses behind Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. But their latest collaborative effort Paul stars a CGI alien voiced by Seth Rogen, and somehow it doesn’t come off as awesome, but sort of…silly. More »
Juliette Lewis Upstages Jennifer Aniston At ‘The Switch’ Premiere
There’s a faraway glaze in Jennifer Aniston‘s eyes; it’s because she has been upstaged by Juliette Lewis and her Smurf-y blue hair. Nah, she just looks bored. Over the red-carpet thing. Fun fact: Juliette Lewis dated Brad Pitt in the ’90s. So she and Jen have that in common. Also in the movie/shot: Jason Bateman, Patrick Wilson (or rather, his Madame Tussaud’s wax figure) and a cute little kid named Thomas Robinson (who we suspect might share DNA with Robert Downey Jr.) More »
