The romantic comedy pairing of Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore has a solid history of success at the box office, with both 1998's The Wedding Singer and 2004's 50 First Dates considered big hits in theaters, but will the idea of their third time working together be enough for them to outshine a movie about apes taking over the Earth? The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the Frank Coraci-directed Blended, which has Sandler and Barrymore back together in a romantic context, has officially been given a May 23, 2014 release date, which will put it in direct competition with Matt Reeves' Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the highly-anticipated sequel to 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes starring Andy Serkis, Gary Oldman and Jason Clarke. In the comedy, the two stars will be playing single parents who have an absolutely horrible first date and then find themselves trapped »

The Big Wedding is opening in theaters nationwide this week, which makes it the perfect time to rank the all-time best movies in the wedding-run-amok rom-com subgenre. Because this type of romantic comedy has been around since the 1930s, there are plenty of contenders, however movies like The Hangover or Wedding Crashers don't really qualify. After all, the movies we're focusing on are both wedding-centric and sweet; rom-coms that we could take our great aunts to, not raunchy, hard-r comedies that we'd watch with our drinking buddies.
So, will it be a Julia Roberts movie that takes the top spot or will a classic black-and-white flick reign supreme? Cast your vote now for the best rom-com to ever tie the knot on the silver screen.

Captain America 2, Fast & Furious 7, X-Men, Godzilla, Spider-Man and Transcendence lead our look ahead at the blockbusters of summer 2014...
As blockbuster season is now underway, with the release of Iron Man 3 and Oblivion, it's traditional for us to look ahead to what's coming next summer, and to examine what treats are on the horizon. We've thus sliced out the big films, that we know of now, that are being released between April and August 2014 (Noah, due at the end of March, just misses the cut, as does early March Tom Cruise vehicle, All You Need Is Kill).
And while there's some familiarity to them, there are signs it might just be a more interesting summer than you may think....

Joel McHale has been a big name on the small screen for a couple of years now, but is still working his way towards becoming a leading man on the big screen. That said, in supporting roles he has found some success, last summer playing Mila Kunis' asshole boss in Seth MacFarlane's Ted, and now he's set to perform similar duties alongside Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in their latest romantic comedy together. News of the casting comes from The Hollywood Reporter, which adds that the project is being directed by Frank Coraci. While the film was originally titled Blended, it is currently operating without a name.

1998 promises to be a big year for Hollywood, with the eagerly anticipated Steven Spielberg World War II drama Saving Private Ryan on the way, a reboot of the classic monster movie Godzilla arriving in July, as well as a late summer big screen version of The Avengers, with Ralph Fiennes as John Steed, Uma Thurman as Emma Peel, and Sean Connery as Sir August de Wynter.
The winter months have typically been somewhat fallow as far as Hollywood is concerned. The big guns are slated for summer, those blockbusters and popcorn flicks we all love, and many films seen as Oscar contenders show up in the fall. The studio slate so far this year has not been totally top-notch, but there have been a few gems, including a couple that were little seen but are worth seeking out on cable or video cassette. These, then, are the best films so »

It’s official: Jess is a goner. Last week, Nick’s sudden embrace of responsibility led to a sudden embrace between Jess and him. This week, the unexpected death of Nick’s father Walt proved Nick is not only responsible but endearingly vulnerable and emotionally deep in way we’ve thus far only suspected. There’s no way Jess will not find him irresistible. I fear this story between the roomfriends can only end in heartbreak, despite the fact their friendship finally overcame the awkward, post-kiss phase and grew in strength. Where and when things will go pear-shaped… the jury’s still out on that, »

Lately, when we hear the words “new Adam Sandler movie,” they ultimately prove to be followed by some horrifying, bottom barrel plotline that makes us regret ever considering ourselves a fan of the funny man (sorry, Sandler, I still remember That’s My Boy), but for all the Just Go With Its and Grown Ups (and its upcoming sequel), Sandler can still charm the hell out of an audience with stuff like Fifty First Dates and The Wedding Singer. The continuing thread between such fare? Co-star Drew Barrymore. So, it is with some excitement that we reveal news about a new Sandler/Barrymore pairing that actually sounds charming, romantic, and – get this - mature. Moviehole passes along a ton of information about the film (via /Film), including that it will reunite the pair with Wedding Singer director Frank Coraci, that it features a script by Ivan Menchell and Claire Sera, with »

Even more so than a good script and firm direction, chemistry is the most important thing in a movie romance; without it, audiences will be left unconvinced that they should even care about the love story unfolding on screen, and it can result in some extremely awkward cinematic moments.
Plenty of sub-standard rom-coms have survived on the basis of their chemistry, and in many cases – see: The Adjustment Bureau – the sizzling frisson between the two stars has elevated an otherwise pretty flat film.
However, sometimes Hollywood, so unwaveringly confident in the box office bankability of its leads, forgets to screen-test them together or even begins to entertain the thought that, you know, they might not be all that well suited.
Whether it’s down to the casting department or the simple fact that these actors simply weren’t attracted to each other in real life, the result is the same – a stale, »

How much of an underrated presence has Steve Buscemi been in all of our lives?
Over the span of 25 years, he's gone from "King of the That Guys" (current co-Kings: Bruce McGill and James Cromwell) to "Oh, right — that's an actor named Steve Buscemi" to "Steve Buscemi" to "Golden Globe-Winning Steve Buscemi" to, finally, "Champion of Our Hearts Steve Buscemi."
Of all of the Buscemier actors out there, Steve Buscemi is easily the Buscemiest. That much is certain, and that's why we're excited for his role in "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone."
A little more difficult to determine? The Buscemiest roles of Steve Buscemi's career. We've narrowed the field to nine. See below, and be aware that being Buscemi sometimes means being Nsfw.
1. 'Desperado' (1995)
It frankly doesn't get any Buscemier than Buscemi in "Desperado" as (according to the credits) "Buscemi," where he Buscemis the f**k out of »

Now I was a huge fan of Adam Sandler’s loveable ‘man child’ persona after gut-busting classics Billy Maddison, Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer. Yes, those efforts we predictable and full of puerile humor but they were and still are, quotable classics. I also have a soft spot for Big Daddy, Mr. Deeds and Anger Management but Sandler’s output of late, has been pretty shocking.
What’s surprising is 2010s Grown Ups is Sandler’s highest grossing comedy to date, despite being pretty woeful. I’ve never quite ‘got‘ the allurement of fellow comedians Kevin James and David Spade, while co-star Chris Rock maybe one of the finest stand-ups of his generation, but his own big-screen career is littered with more failures than successes.
That being said, Grown Ups 2, marks Sandler’s first ever sequel and again is reunited with his aforementioned buddies. Dennis Dugan returns to »

Pair follow up The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates with new film set at family resort, directed by Frank Coraci
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are to pair up for the third time on a new comedy that revolves around the fallout from a disastrous blind date, reports Variety.
Sandler and Barrymore previously co-headlined 1998's The Wedding Singer and 2004's 50 First Dates, both of which were considered box office successes. The Wedding Singer even managed to be that rare concern in Hollywood, the well-reviewed Adam Sandler movie.
The new film will centre on two people who find themselves stuck together in a family resort with their children from previous marriages after the aforementioned disastrous romantic coupling. The Wedding Singer's Frank Coraci, a regular Sandler collaborator, will direct from a screenplay by Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera.
Both Sandler and Barrymore will be returning to familiar ground in the hope »
