One of the more seminal novels to come out of the 70s enduring all the way to today is Judy Blume’s cherished work, Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret. It’s intriguing, given Hollywood’s ongoing search for coming-of-age stories and adaptations of any IP of any note, that the beloved novel hasn’t seen a big time adaptation until just about now. If you think about the lineage of Ladybird, Eighth Grade, Blockers, and Booksmart, it’s a blessing that there indeed will be Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret movie thanks to James L. Brooks and writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig.

The trailer looks very promising with having the nuance and charm of the original text still in tact on top of having the likes of Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates getting top billing. That said, newcomer, the actress taking on the titular role, Abby Ryder Forston, seems like she will shine bright here (kind of like Abigail Breslin did in Little Miss Sunshine).

See for yourself in the first Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret trailer here, then really see for yourself when the movie comes out on Apr. 28th.

For Some Over the Top Murder Mystery Comedy, Watch Trailer for “Game Night”

From the looks of the trailer, Game Night seems to fall somewhere between It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Clue, and The Game.

On many levels, this movie seems utterly ridiculous, especially Rachel McAdams relative calm throughout this “game night” ordeal and Jesse Plemons’ bit. Yet, all the set pieces seem almost inexplicably enjoyable (let’s hope that there are more than just what’s shown in this first trailer) and they kind of have us on board for whatever this ride is.

Seeing Jason Bateman and Sharon Horgan on screen is always a plus as well.

In any case, see all of this for yourself in the trailer here.

Game Night is set for theatrical release on March 2nd, 2018.

Last year, we caught wind of what might be a “Hawaii rocket launch rom com” in Cameron Crowe’s latest film, which was called Deep Tiki at the time.

Since then, the movie’s title has changed to Aloha and the first trailer has arrived. Where it will end up the Cameron Crowe spectrum of romantic comedies from Say Anything to Almost Famous to Elizabethtown has yet to be seen. The love triangle between Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, and Rachel McAdams seems to lean more in tone towards Elizabethtown, but the presences of Danny McBride, Alec Baldwin, and Bill Murray lean more towards Say Anything.

Either way, we’re intrigued to see another trailer as well as the movie itself.

Cameron Crowe’s Romantic Comedy To Have Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, and More

By now, ensemble cast romantic comedies should be a little bit of a red flag, but with Cameron Crowe attached as well as rounding a cast of Jay Baruchel, Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams, Alec Baldwin, Emma Stone, and Danny McBride should make for something noteworthy.
