Today's a good day if you like your comedies a bit raunchy: both Friends With Kids (AKA the Bridesmaids Reunion Special) and Wanderlust released red-band trailers to titillate and shock you.

Friends was written by and stars Jennifer Westfeldt, whom you might know from Kissing Jessica Stein or being Jon Hamm's girlfriend. It follows two friends (Adam Scott and Westfeldt) who decide to have a child together without all the messy couple stuff. Spoiler: they probably end up falling in love! The film also features Don Draper himself, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Chris O'Dowd, and Megan Fox. That's enough people I love to probably get me into a theater at least two times. Also, I'm not sure what's so racy about this trailer, except maybe Westfeldt's fingering pantomime?

And then we have Wanderlust, which features Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd as a stressed-out New York City couple who, due to some kind of shenanigans, end up at a free-love commune in some lovely rural area. (I've been to an actual one, and let me tell you, it's fun! I also discovered that there is such a thing as tasty vegan food.) I'm going to say this one gets the red band because of... drug references? That seems to be the only thing standing out to me as objectionable for minors.

I'm going to be honest, I'd rather a red-band trailer really earns that mark; unless I see ass, it just seems like a whole lot of worry over nothing. But the movies look good, so that's something.

I'm temped by Wanderlust, but only because Lauren Ambrose is in it. Once someone convinces me she has more than five minutes of screen time, I'm in. Otherwise, there's no way I'm putting up with Jennifer Aniston.
