When we first heard about Movie 43 last year (it was supposed to have been released this past spring but got delayed), we expected something along the lines of the recent string of star-studded ensemble rom-coms like Valentine’s Day or New Year’s Eve. What we didn’t expect (and we doubt very many people did) was the raunchy, taboo-pushing, all-around (hilariously) inappropriate film we see today in the Movie 43 red-band trailer.
Even though the trailer doesn’t exactly spell it out, the film will consist of intertwining comedic vignettes featuring the characters we’ve seen (plus others yet unseen) that ultimately converge in some kind of way. So far we have a couple of parents with an unusual approach to home-schooling; various characters preparing for some kind of a faux Comic-Con; a company working on some kind of sex doll/robot thing; a riff on inspirational African-American sports films, and smaller bits featuring odd-pair couples in various comedic situations.
We’ll also get quite the eclectic mix of comedic and/or dramatic actors, including Emma Stone, Gerard Butler, Hugh Jackman, Elizabeth Banks, Anna Faris, Kate Winslet, Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Seann William Scott, Chris Pratt, Justin Long, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Josh Duhamel, Liev Schreiber, Kate Bosworth, Johnny Knoxville, Jason Sudeikis, Leslie Bibb, Bobby Cannavale, Kieran Culkin, Jack McBrayer, Halle Berry, Stephen Merchant, Chloe Moretz, Terrence Howard and more.

Even more interesting than the extensive cast or multi-faceted narrative are the directors behind the film: Famous names like James Gunn (Gurdians of the Galaxy) and Peter Farrelly (Three Stooges) you may recognize for their previous works – while names like Brett Ratner will probably put some people off.
Some of the other directors, though, will surely be of interest to fans: These include Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad); Rusty Cundieff (Fear of a Black Hat, Chapelle’s Show); Griffin Dunne (Practical Magic, Fierce People); Steve Carr (Next Friday, Paul Blart: Mall Cop); Steven Brill (Little Nicky, Without a Paddle), and even comedic actress Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games) directing a segment. Looking over that list, it’s clear that we’re going to get a wide range of comedy from some very familiar sources; there should be a style of laughter for just about any and everyone included in that mix.
Color us pleasantly surprised for Movie 43; the film hits theaters on January 25, 2013, and will hopefully help to thaw out the winter freeze.

Ok when the little irish guy ( cant spell it ) turned out to be Gerald Butler i laughed, that was really funny.
Leperchaun you mean…And yes…I laughed at that and pretty much the whole thing….GOD GAVE YOU A 12 AND HALF INCH **** DRIBBLE WITH THAT
That was easily the most unfunny part of an otherwise great trailer.
Seriously? That was the funniest part of the whole trailer.
So the scary movie franchise with high class actors… and that many directors?! How odd but cool lol
This looks like it could be the funniest movie EVER!!!!!! -nothing better than top tier actors acting a fool.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Fantastic! I personally cannot wait.
Looks like a new version of the Four Rooms, except a lot more segments which all ties together at the end
actually laughed throughout most of the trailor. The home parenting stuff is pretty funny.
Be wary of trailers for comedies, they tend to edit and use the best of.
True but I still laughed more than I did for the whole Southpark movie.
This looks incredible!
I had been wondering about this movie for some time now and this is not at all what I expected. Looks great
This is going to suck so bad. Im calling it now. I hope its good just for the hell of it. Like I genuinely hope this is good, but I know in my heart it wont be. These kinds of movie never are.
Oh my lord that trailed was horrible, I like comedies but this looks like the abomination of them all. You have all these big budget actors and directors how can you screw this up but they manages to find a way too. It’s just looks so stupid I mean did they even read over the script. Man this is horrible.
I think the whole point of it is to be stupid… lol
That’s so weird that you already know how much this movie sucks! I could have sworn it comes out January 25, 2013. I mean how did you get ahold of the script so YOU could read over it and know how much of an “abomination” it is?! I look forward to your future reviews of movies so I can get such insight as “Oh my lord that trailed was horrible” and “It’s just looks so stupid”. I’m so thankful there are critics out there like you so I can save my money. Thanks JerseySchindler!!
For your information sir I am a very important figure in Hollywood. I was personally invited on the set of the film to overview the script. I was placed in a small room with a table and chair and a bottle of whiskey on the table with a shot glass. In my manner of order I remember I put a lil whiskey in the glass. Then I opened the script and read from page número 1. By the time I finished reading I was so drunk I couldn’t remember a lot but I remembered how horrible the script tasted and how very unintelligent it was for the amount of talent, I was unimpressed. I gave my final opinions to the directors and producers. Then they gave me a bottle of whiskey and sent me away in a limo. Then I woke up in a dark alley with my bottle of whiskey gone. But in terms of the script it was plain dry.
spam?
True Story my good friend
If your so High what are you doing here pretending like you havent seen the movie when you’ve read the script. PleASE FEEL FREE TO GTH Out of here cause this is for normal people who HAVENT seen the movie.
The names are notoriously talented….but christ does this trailer look horrible! Its not twisted or “sick” its just lame! I hope its a case of make the s***tiest trailer you can so when people like me see the movie (eventually) their low expectations will be dashed.
Wish someone warned me before I saw the worst movie of all time!!!
Trash……it’s to stupid for me to even care.
Whats all this hate about Brett Ratner ?
He made some real good and cool movies out there !
Looks funny but I’m leaning towards Wright end of the world and Seth rogans the end of the world lol
Trailer looks ok but honestly, I haven’t found a lot of the “comedy” movies to be funny at all (this includes The Hangover, the American Pie series, anything with Seth Rogen other than Monsters Vs Aliens, Meet The Spartans etc)
I never expected to get this?!! I take back every single hateful thing I said about this and every comparison I made to Gary Marshall and any crap we’ve gotten from him. Can’t wait!!
I would seriously pay money to see this. I think that the directors just went,”hey you want guys, forget the scripts just go what you feel.” And I really want to see Kate Winslet cut loose.
That s*** is is to funny
This looks pretty bad in my opinion. A lame attempt to get as many known/popular actors to do weird/dumb/gross/explicit comedy. Hopefully this movie will get that superficial, dirty humor out of the way for the year…but is probably just the start. Honestly, Richard Gere, Halle Barry, Emma Stone, Gerard Butler, etc. don’t seem like they fully understand and even enjoy the humor they are portraying. I realize it was only a trailer but I don’t think the end result will be much better.
OMG that looks so freaking funny.
I didn’t get it at first, but then I saw the list of awesome directors for Movie 43 and it is a long one! It looks like the film will be a series of 11 shorts intertwined together in a way only Peter Farrelly can.
that christopher mintz plasse period thing looks terrible
The worst movie I have ever seen… totaly disappointed in every star that was in it, yucky, digustng and o not funny
This movie was balls out hilarious.
