As a movie reviewer there’s nothing more difficult than reviewing an average movie. With terrible movies you can spew forth all the bile and hatred you want, with good (or great) movies you can rave over each an every aspect that got you excited. But with an average movie there’s very often little to say beyond “it’s Ok” – and that’s what Tracers is, just Ok.

Down on his luck Cam (Taylor Lautner) is barely scraping by. Drowning in debt and living out of a garage, he is desperately looking for an out. Cam’s prayers are seemingly answered when he meets the beautiful and mysterious Nikki (Marie Avgeropoulos). She...

Well if the cast of “Transformers” helmer Michael Bay’s low-budget (in Bay terms) dark comedy “Pain and Gain” isn’t the most eclectic ensemble of talent he’s ever assembled, it’s certainly the best he’s done in years.

The cast already boasts two blockbuster action stars in Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson in this true story of two Miami Beach bodybuilders who kidnapped, robbed, and left for dead a wealthy Florida businessman. That businessman will be played by veteran character actor Tony Shaloub, who will also be joined by Ed Harris, Rob Corddry, Anthony Mackie and “Bridesmaids” scene stealer Rebel Wilson. Well, now Bay has added two more to this admittedly fine assortment of players that certainly ups our interest even more in this project.

“The Hangover” and “Community” star Ken Jeong is set to join the Paramount film as the character of Johnny Wu, with “Ugly Betty...

The Hangover's Ken Jeong has joined Michael Bay's dark comedy, Pain and Gain.

The comedy is based on a true story about a pair of bodybuilders in Florida, who get caught up in an extortion ring and a kidnapping scheme that goes terribly wrong. The actor will be playing the character Johnny Wu with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson playing the body builders.

The actor played a key role in both The Hangover movies and has a reoccurring role on NBC's Community.

Production has already begun in Miami.

Pain and Gain is in development and stars Dwayne Johnson, Mark Wahlberg, Rob Corddry, Anthony Mackie, Ed Harris, Bar Paly, Tony Shalhoub. The film is directed by Michael Bay.

"The Hangover" and "Community" comedian Ken Jeong has joined the cast of Michael Bay's dark comedy thriller "Pain And Gain" at Paramount Pictures says Heat Vision.

The $35 million project is based on the true story of body builders in Miami Beach who headed a kidnapping and extortion ring that went awry.

Jeong, who worked with Bay in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon", will play a character named Johnny Wu. Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Ed Harris, Tony Shaloub, Anthony Mackie and Bar Paly also star.

Shooting is underway in Miami and new photos of Johnson in action have gone online which you can see below:...

Since his big movie break in Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up back in 2007, Ken Jeong has become The Ubiquitous Former Doctor, cropping up in almost every comedy made since Seth Rogen got Katherine Heigl preggers. He made most impact in the Hangover films, but Michael Bay even found a role for him in Transformers: Dark Of The Moon and has decided to keep him around, since Jeong will appear in Pain And Gain.Bay is shooting the dark comedy right now with Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg playing two bodybuilders in Miami who cook up a cockeyed scheme that involves kidnapping and extortion.Jeong has signed on to play someone named Johnny Wu, though there are no other details of his role. He’s joining a cast that already includes Ed Harris, Tony Shalhoub, Rebel Wilson, Rob Corddry and Anthony Mackie.There’s no word yet on when Pain And Gain will hit cinemas,...

Ken Jeong is ready to pump some iron — and steal some scenes.

The "Hangover" star is reuniting with his "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" director Michael Bay for the bodybuilding crime thriller, "Pain and Gain," according to Heat Vision.

"Pain and Gain" is based on the true story of Miami Beach bodybuilders who headed a disastrous kidnapping and extortion ring. At $35 million, the film has the lowest budget of any Bay-directed film since the original "Bad Boys" (which, believe it or not, had a budget of only $19 million), a film for which Bay sacrificed part of his salary in order to shoot a climactic explosion. Seems rather ironic now, doesn't it?

Ken Jeong had a brief but memorable supporting role in the third "Transformers" film as Shia Labeouf's somewhat bizarre (okay, really bizarre) co-worker who unfortunately ran afoul of the Decepticon known as Laserbeak. He's probably most well-known for his role as Mr.

I’ve heard Ken Jeong‘s scenes in Transformers: Dark of the Moon — though brief in the context of a nearly 150-minute film — were rather interminable and worse, entirely unnecessary; there might be more on the way. According to THR, Chang’s reunited with Michael Bay on his currently-shooting Pain and Gain in the role of Johnny Wu, which I can only imagine being rooted in some mildly offensive “ethnic humor.” Try and argue against that prediction.

Let’s cover something that’s less of a nuisance. Following up our first looks at Mark Wahlberg and Rob Corddry on the Miami set, StarPulse (via LatinoReview) have picked up some shots of the former, Dwayne Johnson, and Anthony Mackie. It’s not a lot to see — just some standing around in gym-like attire — but I still take it as an amazing reminder that Bay‘s actually shooting this thing.

• Nicole Kidman may play literal Hollywood royalty, as she is in talks for the role of Princess Grace of Monaco in Grace of Monaco, directed by La Vie En Rose helmer Oliver Dahan. The project, produced by Pierre-Ange Le Pogam, has been likened to The King’s Speech (albeit with far less stuttering). [THR]

After starring in Michael Bay's Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Ken Jeong will be reuniting with the director for his upcoming true crime drama, Pain and Gain.  You might be most familiar with Jeong from his role as Mr. Chow in The Hangover or as Señor Chang in NBC's Community.  In Bay's last film, he played a character named Jerry Wang. THR reports that Jeong will be keeping with the naming theme as he will be playing Johnny Wu; few other details are available for his character at the moment.  Pain and Gain, a long-gestating passion project for Bay, tells the story of the Sun Gym gang, a group of Miami bodybuilders whose extortion scheme went terribly awry.  Since the film just began shooting recently in Miami, we posted some new images of stars Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg. A dark comedy, Pain and Gain also stars Ed Harris,...

Ken Jeong is set to re-team with his Transformers: Dark of the Moon director Michael Bay for the upcoming Pain and Gain , says a story at The Hollywood Reporter . He'll play a character by the name of Johnny Wu. The Paramount Pictures project stars Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie, Ed Harris, Bar Paly, Rob Corddry, Tony Shalhoub, Bar Paly and Rebel Wilson. Based on a true story, the film follows a group of bodybuilders who engaged in a campaign of kidnapping, extortion and murder in Florida. Jeong is best known for his role in both installments of The Hangover and as Senor Chang on NBC's "Community," currently airing its third season Thursday nights at 8pm Est/Pt.
