“My Frank and I can overcome anything as long as we’re together,” the very well-to-do Nancy Teagarten avers. Whether that includes going broke without their college-bound daughter or nosy neighbors knowing about it is debatable.
Here’s the first trailer for Drunk Parents, starring Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek as the proud dad and mom who must scramble to cloak their financial implosion. Here’s the logline: Frank and Nancy Teagarten are a staunchly lower upper-class couple with a shiny black Range Rover and tasteful Tudor-style home. They couldn’t be prouder as they anxiously drop off their daughter at her first day of college. However, a visit by the repo man shortly thereafter leaves them scrambling to make ends meet, and it seems their wealth is less secure than it appears.

While most people might be thrilled at the thought of having Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek as parents, one peak behind the curtain might have them changing their tune. The two telegenic stars play a married couple who have fallen into deep financial trouble in the simply titled “Drunk Parents,” a new comedy from “Grown Ups” scribe Fred Wolf which released a first trailer today. In addition to Baldwin and Hayek, the film stars a veritable feast of screen favorites that includes Jim Gaffigan, Joe Manganiello, Bridget Moynahan, Treat Williams, comedian Aasif Mandvi, and Broadway breakout Ben Platt.
The movie follows the upper middle-class couple as they hit a bit of financial trouble and struggle to pay their daughter’s college tuition. They launch a series of money-making schemes, including renting out a friend’s mansion and selling his possessions on craigslist. Gaffigan, whose presence at this year’s Sundance...

After scoring big hits as a writer with Grown Ups and its sequel, House Bunny director Fred Wolf has recently returned to directing (and to a previous cult "favourite") with Crackle's Joe Dirt 2. Now he's got his next project lined up. He'll direct Drunk Parents, which may sound like a vehicle for Adam Sandler or David Spade, but will actually mark a 30 Rock reunion for Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek.Wolf wrote the screenplay with Peter Gaulke, with whom he also worked on 2008's Strange Wilderness. The story sees parents Baldwin and Hayek waving goodbye to their daughter as she goes off to college, and immediately going on a drinking binge to celebrate their first time alone for 18 years. This leads them to make some Bad Decisions and get involved in a kidnapping and a case of mistaken identity.“Alec and Salma are both incredibly charismatic, hilarious talents," says producer Robert Ogden Barnum.

There are a lot of things that last year.s Silver Linings Playbook got right, and the film and its cast and crew have the awards to show for it. Should there have been a category for .Best Reminder of an Actor.s Likeability,. the re-emergence of Chris Tucker would have certainly secured the trophy. The prospect of another Rush Hour sequel still makes my skeleton groan, but I.m happy to pass on the news that his next role will be in an original comedy. Tucker will return to a leading role in Relativity Media.s Second Honeymoon, which will be directed by Phil Joanou (Gridiron Gang), no stranger to career hiatuses himself. (You might remember he directed the pretty stellar Punisher: Dirty Laundry short last year.) He.ll be working form a script written by Peter Gaulke, who wrote the mildly disappointing comedy The Babymakers, and Kevin Heffernan,...

Jay Chandrasekhar is best known as one of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe and has directed some fairly high-profile movies and TV over the last few years. Perhaps his biggest film was the Dukes of Hazzard from a few years back which was a mixed bag to say the least.
The problem with most of Chandrasekhar’s films and a problem which The Babymakers also suffers from is that they seem in a major hurry to get to the next joke and don’t allow the audience breathing room with the characters. As a result they always feel more like some kind of endurance contest than an actual comedic narrative. During The Babymakers you can see that there was potential for a laugh out loud comedy but the pace is one of two major flaws that meant I only sniggered intermittently throughout the film.

Considered by many to be the worst film of the 1990s, "Frozen Assets" is a comedy about a bank manager who gets a new job running a (wait for it) sperm bank. Considered by many to be the worst films of the 2000s, "Strange Wilderness" was co-written by Peter Gaulke. "The Babymakers" was co-written by Peter Gaulke, and a sperm bank figures heavily in the plot. Draw your own conclusions. To be fair, I wasn't aware of either of these things when I went into "The Babymakers," but after a witless and...

You know that comedian at open mic night who provides too many tangential details in his set up and takes forever to get to the simplest of punchlines? This is the movie equivalent. With its thoroughly modern concept, The Babymakers follows a husband (Paul Schneider) who has to break into a sperm bank in order to get back his last viable batch of swimmers and impregnate his wife (Olivia Munn). It’s a fantastic spin on heist stories, and with Jay Chandrasekhar at the helm, there’s a sense of comedic prowess, but the movie itself gets bogged down in its gag set ups, leaving little room for pay off. There are some great moments, but the difficulty in making a story revolving around a sperm bank heist is that, as writers Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow most likely found out early on, it’s not all that hard to break into a sperm bank. It...

Written by Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow
USA, 2012
In the final shot of The Babymakers, a toddler cries in agony and anguish, a feeling that will be shared by most people who subject themselves to this woefully unfunny exercise in stupidity. The best you can hope for is a light chuckle or snicker, though they may end up being pity laughs, as there are too many decent actors and actresses you’ll pity for being stranded in this loud, obnoxious farce. The premise—after a married couple fails to conceive a child, the husband decides to steal an old sperm sample of his so he can be the one who impregnates his wife—is ignored in favor of meandering, pointless gags and subplots.
Paul Schneider plays Tommy, the frustrated hopeful father whose sperm have become confused, thus making it difficult to get his wife,...

Chicago – The comedy troupe Broken Lizard conquered the film world with their first feature, “Super Troopers” in 2001. Over the next decade, they followed up with the popular “Club Dread” (2004) and “Beerfest” (2008). Broken Lizard performers Kevin Heffernan and Jay Chandrasekhar (who also directs) go domestic in the new film “The Babymakers.”
This latest release features Heffernan and Chandrasekhar in supporting roles, with Paul Schneider and Olivia Munn playing a couple trying to breed, but finding too many obstacles along the way. The solution? Break into a sperm bank where Schneider’s character made some deposits, and withdraw his specimen to save the day. Part heist film, part upper middle class fantasy, the Broken Lizard members add their own quirky sensibility to the mix of this high concept comedy.

Late last year a promo trailer surfaced for the new comedy from Broken Lizard called Babymakers from troupe member and director Jay Chandrasekhar, but the video was quickly taken down. Now the official trailer has arrived with Olivia Munn ("Perfect Couples")and Paul Schneider ("Parks & Recreation") playing Audrey and Tommy, a couple unable to conceive a child with Tommy shooting blanks in the bedroom. So obviously, the best plan of attack is to have Tommy's friends rob a sperm bank where he made a deposit years ago in order to make things right. Does hilarity ensue?

Jay Chandrasekhar’s twist on the bank heist film, The Babymakers, takes a somewhat clever and fun premise and buries it under muffled performances, piles of unfunny jokes, and a complete disregard for clarity of theme. The film is packed with all of the markers that we’ve come to expect from current Hangover and Apatow-inspired comedy – it’s raunchy and dirty and even occasionally offensive – but there’s no bite or originality behind any of it, it just feels tired and wrung out. Chandrasekhar’s shtick has worn thin since his best and ballsiest comedy, Super Troopers, and lensing a flick from writers Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow (best known for stuff like Black Knight and Say It Isn’t So) hasn’t done him any favors. The film centers on happily married pair Tommy (Paul Schneider) and Audrey (Olivia Munn) who decides it’s high time to conceive a baby. After...

In The Babymakers, a bumbling idiot (played by Super Troopers actor Kevin Heffernan) does a Stooge-like swim on a floor covered in semen. That just about sums up what this lazy, downright stupid comedy is about: a steady stream of unfunny sperm jokes that goes nowhere.
The presence of Heffernan, Nat Faxon, and actor-director Jay Chandrasekhar will likely lure fans of Broken Lizard’s brand of raunchy irreverence, but don’t be fooled into suffering through an atrocious script written instead by Strange Wilderness offenders Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow. (Yes, “Swallow” for those whose minds are similarly in the gutter.)
“Parks and Recreation” alum Paul Schneider delivers his lines with a smirk of disbelief and earns the most laughs, except they mostly come from his perfect physical timing, not the farcical situations involving his character Tommy. Just a simple look or gesture had the theater busting up. And, as...

If you thought that “Knocked Up” was too mature a take on impending fatherhood, then “Babymakers” just might be the movie for you. Directed by Jay Chandrasekhar, it follows the comical misadventures of a husband who is reluctant to discover whether or not his sperm is “confused” – and if so, how he’ll handle getting his wife pregnant. Marginally more sophisticated than Chandrasekhar’s efforts with the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, “Babymakers” starts off solidly before getting sidetracked by set pieces that take over the entire narrative – and ultimately reveal how little of one there was in the first place.
Paul Schneider (“Water for Elephants”) plays Tommy Macklin, a husband who agrees to start a family with his wife Audrey (Olivia Munn) but soon discovers that tons of tries don’t make a difference if you’re incapable of conceiving. Citing his efforts five years prior when he successfully donated sperm for “beat off money,...

After failing to get his wife pregnant, a guy (Paul Schneider, Parks and Recreation) recruits his pals to steal the deposit he left at a sperm bank years ago. If that doesn’t set you up for the kind of movie “The Babymakers” is going to be then I don’t know what will.
Director: Jay Chandrasekhar
Writers: Peter Gaulke, Gerry Swallow
Starring: Olivia Munn, Paul Schneider, Kevin Heffernan
“The Babymakers” turned out to be my first big surprise for SXSW this year. Going into it I knew very little about the film except that the premise had comedic value…and that Olivia Munn is unbelievably hot. Directed by Jay Chandraskhar, who you may remember from such classics as ‘Super Troopers’ and ‘Dukes of Hazzard’, the film actually turned out to be one of the funniest I’ve seen in a long while.

Brilliant First Red Band Trailer For Jay Chandrasekhar’s The Babymakers Kicks Off With A Lot Of Love
Jay Chandrasekhar and all of the Broken Lizard guys are complete geniuses, and whilst The Babymakers may not be an official Broken Lizard film, written instead by the writing team of Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow (Ice Age: The Meltdown), the film looks like another brilliant one starring the comedy team.
Directed by Chandrasekhar, The Babymakers is led by Paul Schneider (Lars and the Real Girl) and Olivia Munn (Soderbergh’s upcoming Magic Mike), with all of the Broken Lizard guys – Chandrasekhar, Kevin Hofferman, Paul Soter, Steve Lemme, and Erik Stolhanske – filling out the supporting cast, along with some other Broken Lizard regulars.
The first red band trailer has hit the net, via Collider and Film School Rejects, and it is pretty damn awesome. Schneider and Munn star as a couple trying and failing to get pregnant when they discover Schneider’s swimmers are a little on the slow side.

[1] In a weird way, it seems appropriate that the first footage from Jay Chandrasekar's The Babymakers would leak over the holidays. After all, the season is about family, and this film is ostensibly about starting a family. Of course, this being a film from the guy who directed Beerfest, what it really ends up being about is a lot of semen jokes. Hooray. Olivia Munn and Paul Schneider star as a married couple who want to start a family but are having trouble conceiving. When the husband learns that it's because he is infertile, he enlists his friends and an Indian mob hitman (Chandrasekar) to help him break into a sperm bank and steal back a deposit he made years ago. This seems to be a rough cut of a promotional trailer rather than a finished theatrical trailer, so keep that in mind as you make your judgment. Watch the Nsfw trailer after the jump.

If you woke up this morning and felt you needed to see a trailer frothing over with semen jokes, it’s as if the planets have aligned to tell you that you need more therapy and that the redband trailer for Babymakers has poked its little head out onto the internet. This is the Broken Lizard movie that isn’t a Broken Lizard movie. Instead of the gang from Beerfest trying to impregnate everyone, it stars Olivia Munn and Paul Schneider (Away We Go, Lars and the Real Girl) as a couple who have trouble conceiving. Fortunately, Schneider’s character donated a bunch of great sperm years ago. Unfortunately, it’s all gone, so he has to try to steal some of it back. Good old Kevin “Farva” Heffernan is on board as the sidekick, and Jay Chandrasekhar is directing and playing an Indian mafia killer (complete with genuine Indian accent!). As...

After their flop The Slammin’ Salmon, the comedy troupe Broken Lizard (behind Super Troopers and Beerfest) are back with a new film. The Babymakers is directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and with a promo red band trailer arriving today, it actually looks like it could be a return to form. The highlight for me is seeing Paul Schneider nab a lead comedy role, after loving him in everything from early David Gordon Green films (George Washington, All the Real Girls) to other dramas (Bright Star, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Away We Go) to having success on prime-time TV with Parks and Recreations.
He is joined by TV personality Olivia Munn, which I haven’t been impressed with, but hopefully this and her role in Steven Soderbergh‘s Magic Mike this summer will change by mind. They play a couple who needs some working sperm to have a baby,...

Olivia Munn is set to star in The Baby Makers, according to Variety.
The film will also star Paul Schneider (Parks and Recreation) as a man who finds out he can longer have a child. He decides to rob the sperm bank he once donated to so he can have a child of his own.
No word yet on who Munn would play, but we could guess it would probably be a mom of some sort.
The film will be directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and the screenplay is from Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow.

Olivia Munn is apparently tired of just being known for G4’s Attack of the Show and The Daily Show, according to the latest from Variety. In addition to roles in the upcoming film, I Don’t Know How She Does It, with Sarah Jessica Parker and an HBO pilot from Aaron Sorkin that’s tentatively titled More As This Story Develops, she’ll also be showing up in the indie comedy, The Babymakers.
In the Jay Chandrasekhar directed comedy, a guy (Paul Schneider) is having problems getting his wife pregnant so he decides to get some of his buddies together and break into a sperm bank where he provided a sample in the past. Munn will play the guy’s wife.
The script for The Babymakers was written by Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow, and production is expected to start this summer in Los Angeles.

[1] Al Pacino is in talks to star in Imagine, playing an aging rocker who "decides to change his life after discovering a letter written to him by John Lennon." The note inspires him to reach out to his biological son, whom he's never met. Imagine will be the directorial debut of Dan Fogelman, the screenwriter behind Tangled and the upcoming Crazy Stupid Love. Fogelman has written the script for Imagine as well. At one point, Steve Carrell was attached to play the son. He's since dropped out of the role, though he remains involved as a producer. Which means we get to talk about who might be a good fit to fill the part -- who do you think could play Pacino's son?

The world knows her as actress, model and TV personality. She began her career being credited as Lisa Munn. However, Munn has been one of the faces of the cable network G4, the most famous being Attack of the Show!, and since then she started using the name Olivia Munn professionally.
Wow! That beauty has landed the female lead in Broken Lizard’s new indie comedy The Baby Makers.
As we told you before The Baby Makers will be directed by Broken Lizard founder Jay Chandrasekhar from a script by Ice Age: The Meltdown writers Peter Gaulke and Jerry Swallow.
And the comedy group has scooped up Paul Schneider (Lars and the Real Girl) for the starring role. Variety reportedly revealed that Munn will, for the first time, play the leading female role in the flick, which is most probably Schnieder’s wife.
