       ".....dribble with that motherf*cker"! Hahahahaha. The cast
       alone makes this a winner and there's some chick that looks like
       Kristen Bell in this too. I wonder if that's her twin sister.

       />It's crazy that the movie will be 3 years old by the time it's
       released. Sheesh!

       This is being raked over the coals...
       [glow=red,2,300]Why 'Movie 43's' A-List Actors Are Staying Far
       Away[/glow]
       by Pamela McClintock
       It’s no wonder Hugh Jackman, up for the Oscar for best actor for
       his performance in Universal’s LesMiserables, stayed far away
       from the Jan. 23 Los Angeles premiere of sketch comedy Movie 43,
       a series of unrelated vignettes, one grosser than the next.
       In the R-rated film, Jackman plays a single man who has
       testicles dangling from his neck, a shocking discovery to his
       blind date, played by Kate Winslet, and no doubt to the awards
       team pushing Les Mis.
       He’s not the only current Academy Award contender who appears in
       Movie 43, which was ravaged by reviewers and bombed at the
       domestic box office over the Jan. 25-27 weekend, grossing a
       meager $4.8 million. Naomi Watts, a best actress nominee for her
       performance in The Impossible, and her real-life husband Liev
       Schreiber play a couple whose idea of homeschooling is for the
       mother to simulate kissing with her son. Not exactly the stuff
       of Oscar glory.
       Movie 43 – the brainchild of Peter Farrelly and Charles Wessler,
       the team behind such hits as There’s Something About Mary –
       assembled one of the most ambitious ensemble casts in history,
       as actors including ElizabethBanks, HalleBerry, GerardButler,
       Chloe Grace Moretz, Uma Thurman and Richard Gere (who was
       nominated for a Golden Globe this year for Arbitrage) threw
       caution to the wind. “The point was movie stars doing outrageous
       things. It’s a concept that’s never been done before. Now we
       know why,” says one insider. “It was impossible to market a
       movie that’s a series of sketches.”
       Relativity Media, which made the film for a modest $6 million,
       says for the record that Movie 43 was a “creative risk worth
       taking.” Yet few of the A-list actors in the film showed up for
       Relativity’s premiere, with Banks, Kristen Bell and Justin Long
       all canceling at the last minute, and Butler only showing up at
       the after-party. “Honestly,” says the insider, “I think they
       were scared.”
       Box office pundit Paul Dergarabedian applauds Relativity for
       trying something original. “I like that they swung for the
       fences,” he says, “but the concept just didn’t work.”
       Part of the problem? Movie 43 targeted males between the ages of
       17 and 25, the very same consumers who have been shying away
       from the multiplex in favor of the Internet and video games.
       “The concept of short sketches in the age of the Internet was an
       old-fashioned premise,” the insider added. “Younger people just
       didn’t go for it. They can watch the same sort of thing on
       YouTube.”
