Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as man-children? Check.
John C. Reilly? Check.
Apatow producing? Check.
Homoerotic John Stamos references? Check.
Going on job interviews in a tuxedo? Check.
Twinning? Check.
Yeah, this sounds good, even though it looks extremely silly and probably won't be as good as Pineapple Express (or Forgetting Sarah Marshall if the early word is true), but still got a lot of laughs out of me. Looks like it'll be leagues better than Talladega Nights though.
"Hey, I never asked you; do you like guacamole?" WHAM!

I think this will be good.. Assume the trailer will be in front of Semi-Pro

This is the first I have heard of this.
It made me laugh.
Shouldn't be hard to top Talladega Nights, as it sucked.

New HD Red Band trailer through iTunes
Holy shit, I was nearly crying at this trailer. Pineapple Express will probably be better, but still you can't get better than some of the one-liners here:
It looks like it has much more cheap, scatter-brained laughs than other Apatow fare, but I almost started crying watching this trailer, something the Semi-Pro spot couldn't get me to do at all.
Also, word from early screenings says

That Red Band trailer is fucking wicked...knowing this is an Apatow/McKay flick though, how much of this stuff actually makes it into the movie is anyone's guess, but I can't fucking wait to find out!

That red band trailer rocks, Ferrell redeeming himself for the crap that was Semi Pro. No desire to see Pineapple Express, but this and Tropic Thunder make for possibly two great R rated comedies.

This movie was a fucking disappointment.
While it was a lot better than Semi Pro, this is a huge misfire for McKay and Ferrell.
The crowd I saw it with seemed to dig it, but coming from the cinematic achievement known as Anchorman and even the lesser Talladega Nights, McKay and Ferrell should know better.
What makes both films are the solid supporting casts. This film has none of that. Ferrell and Reilly are the only two funny performers as everyone else plays it straight. And by plays it straight, I mean mostly sucks.
