LESLIE MANN TO RECEIVE
“CINEMACON® COMEDY STAR OF THE YEAR AWARD”
20TH CENTURY FOX TO RELEASE
THE OTHER WOMAN ON APRIL 25, 2014
“It's about time someone recognized the great comedic talents of Leslie Mann," noted Neuhauser. "With undeniable comic timing that has been showcased in so many of her films including Knocked Up and This is 40, Leslie Mann has entertained audiences and critics with her standout performances. CinemaCon is excited for this opportunity to honor her with its 2014 'Comedy Star of the Year Award.'"
Mann can be seen later this year staring opposite Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton in the 20th Century Fox release The Other Woman, to be released on April 25, 2014. After discovering her boyfriend is married, a woman (Diaz) tries to get her ruined life back on track. But when she accidentally meets the wife he’s been cheating on (Mann), she realizes they have much in common, and her sworn enemy becomes her greatest friend. When yet another affair is discovered (Upton), all three women team up to plot mutual revenge on their cheating, lying, three-timing SOB.
A native of Southern California, Mann studied acting with the improve troupe the Groundlings before her first big break in The Cable Guy. Most recently she has starred in This Is 40 and The Bling Ring, and also lent her voice to both ParaNorman, and Mr. Peabody & Sherman. Mann will also once again lend her voice to the main human character “Linda” in Rio 2. Among her other feature film credits are The Change-Up, I Love You Phillip Morris, 17 Again, Big Daddy, Little Birds, George of the Jungle, Timecode, She’s the One, Drillbit Taylor, Funny People, and The 40 Year Old Virgin.
