Stiller and Surfer

After a long period of the lustre slowly vanis꧒hing from their work (neither Stuck On You nor The Perfect Catch 𝓡is a match for their earlier movies), the Farrelly brothers must be getting worried. With the likes of Judd Apatow and Adam McKay pumping out solid hit after hit in the gross-out-meets-sweetness genre, they need to stay competitive.

So they’re pinning their hopes on The Heartbreak Kid, a new collaboration with Ben Stiller, who helped them to a🍒 huge smash with There’s Something About Mary. Can the combo of Stiller’s neurotic mania, a bevy of sexy ladies (including Total Film’s woman of the year Michelle Monaghan) and rising comedy star Rob Corddry get them back on top?

here . And the film itself arrives in October.

Via slightly less official channels (the omnipresent YouTube, to be exact), comes a trailer for something very different. This new footage from Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer aired this week on US TV, and boasts plenty of fresh scenes. We get our first proper look at one of the Surfer’s interesting talents – after his high-altitude clash with the new arrival, Johnny (Chris Evans) finds his powers swap for a time with whichever of the Four touches him. So cue Johnny Thing and Sue Storm burning with 🐓Human Torch-style flame.

Of course, the trailer manages to let itself 🐭down by showing that the franchise’s “family” side (particularly the attempts at humour) are still cheesier than Mayor McCheese opening a cheddar factory with Gouda scissors, but… er… the effects are pretty.

The Surfer glides into cinemas on 15 June and the trailer (while it lasts) is here .
