The Comedy Duo of the Millennium


Stand Back, Michael Cera and Jonah Hill / Dustin Rowles

Trailers | March 22, 2009 | Comments (57)


Are you tired of seeing the same six or seven actors working together in film after film after film? It’s always Paul Rudd and Jason Segal and Seth Rogen and Steve Carrell and Jonah Hill and Michael Cera and Jack Black and … ENOUGH ALREADY. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of all of them. I want a new comedy duo — a pairing that breaks the mold, that tries for something more than a few dick and fart jokes wrapped around some left-field poignancy. I think you know who I’m talking about, too.

Chris Klein and Freddie Prinze, Jr.

Here it is, folks, your very first look at New York City Serenade.

And why is it that you can almost always tell how bad a movie is going to be by the trailer’s voiceover narrator?

That V.O. guy couldn't not have laid on his disdain for life any thicker. Seriously, that kid needs a hug.

This movie looks awful.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 22, 2009 8:59 PM

No YOU look awful!
(But also yes, this looks horrific)

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at March 22, 2009 9:03 PM

Hey! I ...can't watch the trailer? It plays *nothing*! Or, like, it plays for 1/2 a second.

It's probably for the best.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at March 22, 2009 9:03 PM

Rhyme,

Your ass is grass.

Smooches,
K

I thinkses thats mights haves beens a bad moveses..

Posted by: Friar at March 22, 2009 9:09 PM

I don't get it. Comedy duo? This doesn't look like a comedy. At least not one where you "laugh."

Posted by: SaBrina at March 22, 2009 9:11 PM

What they should really do is give Chris Klein some overly dramatic lines about international intriguey stuff to shout out to FPJR's receding figure, while badassedly diving over trash cans 'n stuff. Now that's comedy.

Posted by: SaBrina at March 22, 2009 9:13 PM

To recap:
"I effing loved that girl!"

"It's not a game...it's my life!"

"Sometimes I feel like I can't make it."
"Everything's gonna be okay."

If this movie contains a "Don't you die on me!" line, I fear that we'll be pushed past the movie cliche event horizon.

Posted by: branded at March 22, 2009 9:20 PM

I believe you are mistaken, Giantess. I whole-heartedly expect to plant a flag on your peak after we throw down in Motown.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at March 22, 2009 9:21 PM

I thought Klein was going to take a hiatus after the debacle that was Street Fighter. I would.

And I didn't even know Prinze Jr. still got acting jobs! I forgot his existence for a loooong while. I felt good about it too.

Posted by: Four Eyes at March 22, 2009 9:24 PM

Giantess?

Hahaha.

Bitch, the only flag you'll be holding is a white one.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 22, 2009 9:28 PM

Well, I've got Optimus Rhyme/Kayanne in one of the brackets of my Pajiba death match tournament (to be held immediately after the Pajorgy) I think that filling up the rest of the brackets should be pretty easy. It's Kumite time people!

Pookie/sanity ?

Posted by: Friar at March 22, 2009 9:50 PM

I'm gonna be gone for 3 hours for dance practice but don't think this means you get away with it.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at March 22, 2009 9:50 PM

I'm sorry, did you say *dance practice*?

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at March 22, 2009 9:52 PM

"They overstayed the welcome they never received"?

That doesn't make any fucking sense. Great, I'm dumber now than I was when I woke up. And I woke up a goddamn moron.

Posted by: Bottled Strumpet at March 22, 2009 9:55 PM

It just looks so boring. Doesn't look like a comedy or a drama. Just a boring, badly acted movie with 2 bland guys.

And if this is the guy who's going to replace Don LaFontaine, ewww. He sounds so generic and lifeless.

Posted by: Lainey at March 22, 2009 10:17 PM

that's definitely the guy who does the voice overs for direct-to-dvd movies. Whew, they hit the big time.

Posted by: grace b at March 22, 2009 10:22 PM

Godtopus...didn't you just do a post detailing just how horrible Chris Klein's "acting" was the last time he tried it?

This is seriously the blandest coupling I could imagine. Yes, it's getting old seeing the Dirty Frat Pack, but man, at least they were interesting.

Posted by: figgy at March 22, 2009 10:23 PM

More like very first and last look at New York City Serenade.

You see what I did there? Very clever, aren't I.

I was going to refrain from saying something about the dance practice, but mad props for calling him out AvB.

Guess we know who's team Kayanne.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 22, 2009 10:33 PM

Hey, I've got to defend O.R. here. There's nothing wrong with guys having dance practice. Unless it's square dancing. That's just wrong.

Posted by: MrCresosote at March 22, 2009 10:41 PM

Wow. The trailer cut off before the end. Not even the editors like this film.

Also, Chris Klein is playing everything like he's expecting Chun Li to jump out from behind a door and kick him in the face.

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 22, 2009 10:44 PM

I have now officially lost all faith in humanity...OR has dance practice and Freddie Prinze Jr. is 'acting' again.

Wasn't She's All That enough?

Posted by: Smokin at March 22, 2009 10:48 PM

Pssst MrCresosote, I completely agree with you, but I refuse to like Rhyme have anything. He called me a giantess!

/whisper

Posted by: Kayanne at March 22, 2009 10:52 PM

^let Rhyme

Shesh.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 22, 2009 10:54 PM

Don't make fun of O.R. for having dance practice. I'm sure he looks lovely in a tutu

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at March 22, 2009 11:14 PM

Come to think of it, the mental image of OR in a tutu is pretty adorable.

Posted by: Smokin at March 22, 2009 11:16 PM

My grammar school forced us to take Cotillion dancing for two years. I can foxtrot like a motherfucker.

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at March 22, 2009 11:20 PM

Talent...OUT

Posted by: Rubble44 at March 22, 2009 11:24 PM

I was in Cotillion during my middle school years. It would have been a lot more fun had all of the guys not also been in the awkward middle school phase of life.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 22, 2009 11:30 PM

And welcome back to Dancing With The Eloquents. Optimus, that's a wonderful Batman costume you danced in. Now, lets go to the judges.

Carrie Ann Inaba

9.5

Len Goodman

9.0

Bruno Tonioli

He was like a sex panther out there. I wanted to take him on safari and film him in his natural habitat.

Posted by: bucdaddy at March 23, 2009 12:40 AM

I`m wondering if Rhyme stuffs his tights.

As to the trailer, I think Rowles is right. I didn`t even watch the trailer and I can`t stop laughing.

Posted by: admin at March 23, 2009 12:48 AM

Ok, remember when Pajiba Love showed Dan Carlson doing his song and dance? And no one made fun of him? Well imagine that, except our choreographer has 12 years of jazz, hip-hop and tap. And I (being athletic and rather adept at shaking my groove thing) have been recruited into about 5 different dances. I shake my moneymaker all over that stage. Sometimes in large groups, sometimes in a small group, sometimes I get a little partner that I have to lift and twirl and seduce.
I don't even know the dances. I just hear the music and they've been ingrained so deeply into my mind that I go all Jason Bourne and start boogie poppin' and lockin'.
(The Songs Are "Crazy"-By Britney Spears. "Icebox" by Omarion, "Something by Sean Paul"- By Sean Paul. "That I'm Blue" song by the guys who did I'm blue. And "My Girl/Love(? Am I close?)" by Justin Timberlake. Also there's an all-girl dance that Pierre will find a way to recruit me into. But needless to say, I am tired as fuck and a little cranky.)

P.S. This Shit is About to Get Raw like Sushi so Haters To the Left.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at March 23, 2009 1:20 AM

Unintentional comedy involving these two is always funnier. Let them do more movies like Wing Commander and Street Fighter, those were a laugh.

Posted by: Irina at March 23, 2009 1:30 AM

Oh, excuse me, "Wing Commander: Space Will Never Be the Same". See, even the title makes me giggle.

Posted by: Irina at March 23, 2009 1:31 AM

Is it just me or is this missing the chorus from Saulsbury Hill?

And Chris Klein, either grow the mo or shave that shit off your lip. Sure, you may be milking that boyish eternal pubescence for all it's worth to reel in whatever tweenies haven't had "I *heart* Edward" tattooed on their left a-cup. But jeez guy, not everything belonging to the awkward teenage phase is all that attractive. Namely that brown smudge under your nose that just screams "get your sand-papery pash-rash here!"

Posted by: Bane at March 23, 2009 2:11 AM

The 'I'm Blue' song? Oh sweet lord. Send video before I die of wonderment!!!

Posted by: replica at March 23, 2009 5:06 AM

This looks freaking hilarious! I cannot wait for this new "bromedy", in which these two "bros" - or brothers, as it were - do some real comedy. This is going to be classic. Jnr and Klein, together at last (again?)!

I don't want to nitpick, because this looks so great that I just had to punch myself hard in the nuts to stop myself having too much fun - but did anyone notice that they recycled a line from an earlier Klein comedy? When he says 'Everything's gonna be OK' at the end (and I have to say, I lolled), that's actually lifted straight from Say It Isn't So. I mean, it's a classic line, so I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Posted by: Caspar at March 23, 2009 6:07 AM

New Comedy Duos? How about Owen Wilson and Rob Schnider?

Posted by: RonnyK at March 23, 2009 7:46 AM

My only solace comes in the fact that the video client cut off seconds before then end of the trailer. I may have been spared the final agonizing seconds that would've melted my eyeball right out of my skull.

Nash OUT!

Posted by: CleverJohnny at March 23, 2009 9:08 AM

New York City Serenade is actually a pretty good song. Pete Yorn did a great cover of it.

And that's all I have to say about this post.

Posted by: SofĂ­a at March 23, 2009 10:25 AM

Quit making it difficult to be mad at you, Rhyme, so I can pummel ya!

Posted by: Kayanne at March 23, 2009 10:27 AM

Did he really say "It's not a game, it's my life."?

Posted by: Eep at March 23, 2009 10:35 AM

how did the voiceover guy get this gig? His agent must give some awesome bj's because no one should hire a voice like that... unless it was for said awesome bj....

Posted by: soto at March 23, 2009 11:39 AM

They forgot:

"What part of {insert phrase here} don't you understand?"

"You go, girl!"

"I'm not here to make friends."

"He's standing right behind me, isn't he?"

"Too much information!"

Let me guess the plot--Responsible Guy and Immature Guy have been friends forever, IG talks his friend into one last wild night of fun during which RG trips and his dick accidentally falls into some woman--fiance finds out and is not forgiving, but IG grows up in time to find a way to convince her to take RG back.

God, I'm bored just thinking about it. How did anyone on that production maintain the motivation to actually get this thing made?

Posted by: DeadBessie at March 23, 2009 11:43 AM

I'm really too tired and stressed to fight. Can you do me a favor?
Bludgeon m'face in. Kill me.
Tear me apart like soft bread.
Punch me in the ... tits.
Destroy me. Twist m'head clean off.
Put me to sleep with your kind boots Mr. Fancy man.

Rhyme I was more than willing to acquiesce, but then you called me a man. *pout*

Now I gots to get me some vengeance.

Posted by: Kayanne at March 23, 2009 2:10 PM

You know what guys? I think all those American Pie boys peaked during that movie. Next thing you know, we'll find out that Teen Movie Awards are not predictors of greatness. Oh, how my teen idols have fallen.

Posted by: LB at March 23, 2009 9:33 PM

Pun not intended, but, okay.

Posted by: LB at March 23, 2009 9:33 PM

Kid: Are we gonna die?
Dad: I'll never let that happen.

How do you even begin to try to do that?

Huh? oh, sorry... wrong shitty trailer.

Posted by: Ciji at March 23, 2009 9:54 PM

this will surely be a nice movie. the pairing is nice and seeing the trailer, i think this will be a unique comedy movie. me and my family are going to watch this movie.

Posted by: long island girl at March 24, 2009 8:27 AM

I saw it-pretty good movie. Same guy wrote The Jimmy Show-also good.
