FUNNIEST
Comedies
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL
OPENS MARCH 7
People love to mock writer/director Wes Anderson’s oddball
comedic style, but he remains a wonderfully original voice
in today’s cookie-cutter Hollywood. Ralph Fiennes stars as
Gustave H., the famed concierge of the Grand Budapest Hotel
who mentors an impressionable lobby boy (Tony Revolori).
Expect wry turns from Anderson regulars such as
Tilda Swinton, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe,
Jason Schwartzman and Edward Norton.
NEIGHBORS OPENS MAY 9
A hipster couple (Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne) goes to
war against the obnoxious fraternity dudes (led by
Zac Efron) who’ve moved in next door. The trailer is
laugh-out-loud funny, and anyone who has ever dealt
with a less-than-gracious neighbour will enjoy the
vengeful comedic carnage.
A MILLION WAYS
TO DIE IN THE WEST
OPENS MAY 30
Writer/actor/director
Seth MacFarlane’s follow up
to his hugely successful Ted
is a Western comedy, which
is an unusual choice, but so
was making a movie about
a foul-mouthed toy bear.
MacFarlane also acts in
the pic, playing a cowardly
farmer who runs away from a
gunfight, but then falls for the
wife (Charlize Theron) of a
gunslinger (Liam Neeson).
