Behind the Scenes of Zac Efron’s FunnyorDie Clip

April 6, 2009 at 2:44pm PST

Who’s hungry for a big ol’plate of awesome?

At yesterday’s press junket for 17 Again, Adam Shankman, who produced the film, announced the FunnyorDie clip he directed last week, yes, the one that features oodles of shirtless Zac-y Pooh, is set to premiere on the website Wednesday and will be shown before 17 Again when it hits theaters on April 17th.

The sketch is about Zac throwing a pool party that is, essentially, “an issue of Us Weekly,” with guests including Vanessa Hudgens, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Nicole's ex, Brody Jenner (discussing the AIG bailout), Carmen Electra (who’s an extra), Brittany Snow, Lance Bass (random, but bitchin’), Justin Long (who dies in the pool) and Queen Latifah doing DJ duty.

As if the prospect of Brody pontificating on AIG and Zac topless weren’t entertaining enough, then Zac’s NASCAR lovin’ Uncle Hank (played by Thomas Lennon) and his girlfriend (Nicole Sullivan) show up and hilarity ensues. 

The photo from their brainstorm session last week is brillz.

Lance Bass’ hair is on fire!

And look at how Vanessa curls into Zac as they hold hands with such absent minded nonchalance. Sigh.

We can't wait for Wednesday.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
