Watch: First Us Trailer for British Romantic Comedy 'I Give It a Year'
10 hours ago | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
We've already seen a couple of trailers from across the pond for the British romantic comedy I Give It a Year, the directorial debut of Brüno and Borat writer Dan Mazer, which he also wrote himself. Now the film is poised to debut in the United States later this summer, and a new trailer has arrived. Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids) and Rafe Spall (Prometheus) play an unlikely couple who are inexplicably happy, embarking on a new chapter of their life by getting married. But their friends and family don't think it will last, and their exes, played by Anna Faris and Simon Baker, might make their predictions come true. Here's the new Us trailer for Dan Mazer's I Give It a Year, originally from Apple: Dan Mazer (who wrote Brüno and Borat) makes his feature directorial debut with I Give It A Year, which he also wrote himself.

10 Most Shocking Male Nudity Shots In Cinema History
9 May 2013 1:24 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
There’s nothing quite as shocking as seeing male genetalia in a film. Trust me, I’ve had to research for an article on it. There may still be some gasps at the female equivalent, but we’re certainly more accustomed to their appearance (sometimes even popping up in a 15). A stray knob shot can still cause gasps of horror or ripples of laughter.
With gross out comedy reaching higher and higher to shock audiences, we’ve seen genital shots with increasing frequency in recent years, but there’s an equal amount of films that show us it with a straight face.
Seeing a character fully naked conveys a bareness of the soul and allows actors to fully transmit their role (if they’re game). In tribute to these brave (or boasting) souls, we present you with the ten moments in the history of cinema where actors have fully shown themselves for art (or, »

MTV Movie Awards: 10 all-time greatest moments -- Video
14 April 2013 8:15 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Tonight, MTV will broadcast its 21st annual Movie Awards. Truth: Twenty years ago, the golden popcorn for Best Movie went to A Few Good Men (following that: Menace II Society, Pulp Fiction, and Se7en). Safe to say, the show’s tone has changed pretty dramatically from those edgy early days when Dennis Miller hosted and Denzel Washington won Best Male Performance for Malcolm X. (I personally trace the trajectory shift back to the short-lived decision to create a Best Sandwich in a Movie category in 1996.) Yet even as the show’s gotten more mainstream (read: Twilight- and Hunger Games-saturated »

12 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
The MTV Movie Awards turns 22 this Sunday, April 14, which means yes, our beloved awards show has been drinking legally for a year.
In people years, the MTV Movie Awards still wouldn't be able to rent a car at the regular rate; but in the accolades-passing-out universe, 22 consecutive years of awarding popcorn statues to the A-list, producing the funniest movie spoofs ever, trying to wrangle Jim Carrey through his many stunts and witnessing the horror that was Borat's booty in Eminem's face has made it one of the most fun, most can't-be-missed awards shows in all Awards Show Land.
To celebrate the upcoming show (Sunday, April 14, 9:00 p.m. Et, MTV), here's our walk down memory lane with stops along the way to recall the 20 most memorable Movie Awards moments ever.

Magnolia Picks up I Give It A Year Starring Rafe Spall, Rose Byrne, Simon Baker, and Anna Faris
1 April 2013 12:59 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Magnolia has picked up the reverse rom-com I Give It a Year. The film stars Rafe Spall and Rose Byrne as a married couple who grow to realize that they're not right for each other, and start being drawn to other people (Anna Faris and Simon Baker, respectively). I caught the film at SXSW, and found it to be surprising funny and charming even though it deals with a relationship that's falling apart. The movie will be released via Magnolia's "Ultra VOD" program, which means it will debut on VOD and then the VOD cost will be slightly reduced when the picture hits limited theatrical release. VOD is probably the best distribution method for the film since it's a little too slight and lacks the star power to be a serious wide release. Hit the jump for the press release. I Give It a Year is due out later this »

American audiences hungry for more British comedy and more of Bridesmaids actress Rose Byrne, are in for a treat: I Give It a Year, which stars Byrne and Rafe Spall (One Day), has secured a U.S. distributor. Magnolia Pictures will release the film in the U.S. later this year.
I Give It a Year features Byrne and Spall as a couple that no one believes will last — not their families, not their friends, not even their minister. Where other romantic comedies would begin rolling the credits, I Give It a Year picks up on the realities — and the »

New Clip & Featurette for I Give It A Year – ‘I’d Ruin Bieber’
8 February 2013 9:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Dan Mazer’s I Give It A Year is a film I’ve really been looking forward to. There are a handful of genres that we tend to do very well on our shores, and the rom-com is one of them. (I point you in the direction of Love Actually, Four Weddings, Wimbledon, and the like.)
The film arrives in UK theatres today, and if you’re heading out to the cinema tonight or over the weekend, this looks to be an excellent choice.
Rose Byrne, Rafe Spall, Anna Faris, and Simon Baker head up a brilliant cast. And as the film hits theatres on our shores, StudioCanal have released a great new clip and featurette.
“Since they met at a party, ambitious high-flyer Nat (Byrne) and struggling novelist Josh (Spall) have been deliriously happy despite their differences. Josh is a thinker, Nat’s a doer ..but the spark between them is undeniable. »

'I Give It a Year' review: Opposites don't attract in salty Brit-com
7 February 2013 9:15 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Director: Dan Mazer; Screenwriter: Dan Mazer; Starring: Rafe Spall, Rose Byrne, Anna Faris, Simon Baker, Stephen Merchant; Running time: 97 mins; Certificate: 15
When you hear that the guy who wrote Brüno is working on a Richard Curtis-esque comedy about fresh-faced London newlyweds, you're bound to walk in with very particular expectations. So while I Give It a Year might not turn out to be quite the irreverent social satire you're anticipating, it's an unusually funny, sharp and salty rom-com with characters you like, situations you recognise, and jokes you won't see coming.
The premise doesn't scream originality: mismatched 30-somethings Josh (Rafe Spall) and Nat (Rose Byrne) marry within months of meeting despite their chalk-and-cheese differences. She's an ambitious career girl, he's a stay-at-home aspiring writer; she's polished, he's scruffy; she's alpha, he's beta. Nothing about their wedding ceremony bodes well, and their assembled friends - notably Nat's acerbic sister (a »
Rose Byrne, Rafe Spall 'I Give It A Year' interview - video
4 February 2013 1:00 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Rose Byrne and Rafe Spall have discussed their new romantic comedy I Give It A Year.
The feature debut from Brüno writer Dan Mazer stars Byrne and Spall as ill-matched newlyweds Nat and Josh, whose friends all predict their marriage will fail within a year.
"Most romantic comedies pitch unlikely couples who get together against all the odds," Spall pointed out. "They might be from different worlds but my God, love will see you through.
"It's great to pick up from the point where they're [already] together."
Watch the 'dove scene' from the movie below:
Byrne also discussed a comedic set piece which involves several doves, describing the scene as "like a weird acting exercise...it was bizarre".
Mazer also spoke about his search for 'the next Hugh Grant' before he cast Spall, and revealed who he had in mind when writing the script.

I Give It A Year: how I tried to subvert the romcom
1 February 2013 10:00 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The co-creator of Ali G may seem an unlikely bedfellow for Working Title, makers of Love Actually. Rather than meet cute, these characters seem destined to split ugly
It's probably fair to say that the word "romcom" means different things to most men and women. For a woman, it's a chance to spend an hour and a half without seeing anybody murdered or bludgeoned to death. For a bloke, it's a genre that's supposed to induce fear at the prospect of jokes about buying pants and discussion on how shit men are.
I am a man. I am shit. But I also love a good romcom. When Harry Met Sally is my favourite film. Yet over my years of writing comedy, I have come to the conclusion that most romcoms are the same. Take two people who are never going to get together, ever. Two people for whom the idea of romance is preposterous. »

Dan Mazer’s I Give It A Year will be released in the UK in just a few short weeks, and we can’t wait for it to hit. Given what we’ve seen so far, I think it has the potential to be far and away the best British romantic comedy in years.
We saw a great new clip last week, giving us a good look at the Best Man’s speech that’s teased in the first two trailers. And now digitalspy have debuted a great new set of six character posters, giving us a new look at the leading cast.
“Since they met at a party, ambitious high-flyer Nat (Byrne) and struggling novelist Josh (Spall) have been deliriously happy despite their differences. Josh is a thinker, Nat’s a doer ..but the spark between them is undeniable.

Dan Mazer's I Give It a Year romantic comedy has 8 posters in the gallery. The film stars Rose Byrne, Anna Faris, Simon Baker, Rafe Spall and Minnie Driver and there's no U.S. release date set at this time.

Due out in the UK next month, Dan Mazer’s I Give It A Year has the potential to be one of the best British comedies we’ve seen in quite a long time.
The latest trailer landed just before Christmas, giving us another excellent look at the film, shortly followed by a hilarious first clip and new images.
And with just a few short weeks before it arrives, StudioCanal have now released another great clip, focusing on Stephen Merchant and his best man’s speech.

25 Great Gay Sex Scenes from Modern Movies
10 January 2013 7:07 AM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Back in 2007, we ran an article called Gay Sex Scenes that Made Movie History. A delightfully naughty exploration of firsts and foresk- ... er, foremosts in terms of gay male intimacy on the silver screen, it celebrated some of the films that blew the celluloid closet to bits, one modesty sock at a time.
Six years later, it's shocking just how far pop culture has come in terms of normalizing gay characters and stories, and how much bolder the gay film audience has grown in demanding films that speak truthfully to their sexual experience (though, it must be said, the films that answer the call are usually decidedly outside of the mainstream). So we've decided to bring you an update to our foundational piece that looks at what has happened since. Of course, since most of the ground breaking was done over the last four decades or so, our focus is »
