I think it's safe to say that The 40 Year Old Virgin has become the prototype for mainstream Hollywood comedies, which is actually a good thing. Will Ferrell might still be going strong (sadly), but aside from his own inexplicably successful star vehicles, his brand of utterly, annoyingly broad humor seems to be dying out in the general film landscape. The new crop of summer comedies reflect a quirkier, softer stupidity as demonstrated once again with the just released trailer for The Brothers Solomon from "Mr. Show" star Bob Odenkirk who has a long history making oddball humor with dramatic bite (my personal favorite is his widely unseen festival fave Melvin Goes to Dinner). "SNL" star Will Forte wrote the film and stars alongside "Arrested Development" alum Will Arnett and his "SNL" co-star Kristen Wiig. The general premise revolves around two dopey brothers with limited romantic prowess determined to make a baby in time for their ailing father to see his first grandkid. The release date is scheduled for September 7th, but it's been getting shuffled around a lot lately, so that could change. The website below gives you the chance to see both the "General Audiences" and "R rated" trailers. In this case, I think the one for "R" audiences really adds a little something more.Trailer:

I can't seem to watch the 18 and up trailer. Probably because I live in Canada and don't have a zip code. I've been trying to use 90210, but it continually gives me an error message.
