A slew of seriously funny women claim their spot on the crass-sass-and-more comedy spectrum.
Everybody’s fave a capella group, the Barden Bellas, are back for an encore. This time Beca (Anna Kendrick), Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) and the gals are going global in writer Kay Cannon‘s follow-up to her sleeper hit, directed by Elizabeth Banks. (May 15)
No one gets Melissa McCarthy‘s genuis quite like director Paul Feig (“Bridesmaids,” “The Heat”). They reunite for this goof about a brilliant CIA analyst who gets to go undercover. Bonus: Rose Byrne, so funny in her own right, plays her nemesis. Spy v. spy, heck yeah. (June 5)
Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman. All hail this sisterhood of seam-splitting comedians that helped launch a short-lived show called “Saturday Night Live.”
There are some rather funny fellas in this documentary, too. (June 12)
In this kinda personal, kinda dirty, all kinds of funny comedy, Amy Schumer makes her big-screen debut as Amy, a men’s mag writer tasked with covering a sport doctor (Bill Hader). Judd Apatow directs. Cast includes Brie Larson, Tilda Swinton, LeBron James. (July 17)
Kristen Wiig conspires with Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis in this comedy based on the 1997 Loomis Fargo bank heist, which netted more than $17 million. (Aug. 7)
