LOS ANGELES, June 13 — From crazy adventures and screwball antics to goofy gags and rom coms, comedies will come in all shapes and sizes this summer for sharing a laugh at the movies with friends, family or a date.
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne paired up again May 20 for the sequel to Neighbours. After living next door to a fraternity led by Zac Efron, the young couple are faced with an even noisier sorority in Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising, including a wild child played by Chloë Moretz.
Zac Efron, who’s back on the cast of Neighbours 2, also stars in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, which opens July 8. Here, he plays one of the Stangle brothers, a pair of hard-partying ladies’ men who inevitably ruin any family reunion. The brothers think they’ve found the ideal dates to accompany them to their sister’s wedding, but Alice and Tatiana turn out to be even wilder than the guys.
Another familiar face of US comedy, Melissa McCarthy, stars as a rebooted ghost hunter in the all-girl remake of Ghostbusters, out July 15. The movie sees her reteam with favorite director, Paul Feig, who kick-started her career with Bridesmaids in 2011.
Mila Kunis will be stepping into role as a single mother who’s overworked and exhausted by her job and kids in Bad Moms (July 29). After years spent striving for perfection and failing to achieve it, she joins Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn on a binge of freedom, fun and self-indulgence, much to the disgust of the local clique of perfect moms, including Christina Applegate and Jada Pinkett Smith.
Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Aaron Paul join forces in cop comedy Central Intelligence, out June 17. The movie tells the story of an accountant who finds himself dragged into a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage when he gets back in touch with an old school friend via Facebook. — AFP/Relaxnews
