Doing the Sundance With the Apatow Boys: John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Danny McBride
Know that scene in “Knocked Up” where Seth Rogen’s character and his crew attempt to charm the pants off the ladies at the club, showing off cornball dance moves and dropping hilarious one-liners?
Ever wonder if partying with the Apatow boys is actually like that?
Indeed, it is. Last night, ABCNews.com caught up with Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly at Park City, Utah’s Bing Bar. The duo’s at Sundance promoting their dark comedy, “Cyrus,” with Marisa Tomei. They came with a few friends, including “Eastbound and Down” and “Pineapple Express” star Danny McBride and “Eastbound and Down” creator, Jody Hill. (Fans of the HBO series, don’t fear — McBride said season two is on the way.)
Reilly, who’s won acclaim for varied parts in a variety of films, including “Chicago” and the music bio-pic parody, “Walk Hard, The Dewey Cox Story,” has a new role in his sights: ”I want to play a priest,” he told ABCNews.com. “You may see me doing that soon.” Interesting. If his rendition of a priest is anything like his rendition of a doctor, we’ll be happy.
Then the shop talk stopped and the party really got going. The Roots’ DJ Questlove kept the dance floor bumping with his superior spinning skills; sponsors Don Julio Tequila and Movieline.com made sure the drinks flowed freely. McBride and Hill, clad in Utah-appropriate ski jackets and sweaters, cracked a joke as they wiped their brows in the packed bar/lounge: “It’s so cool that we come to parties and just like, sweat.”
From Bing, it was on to Tao (the Las Vegas restaurant/club set up an outpost in Park City for Sundance.) There, the boys displayed those dancing skills that cracked up “Knocked Up” fans — the roll-the-dice move was in full effect.

A journalist should take more interest in words, language, and grammar. We’re no longer on the elementary school playground; please write in complete sentences.

Wow; hard to believe ABC News allows their brand to be associated with this high school level reporting. “The Roots’ DJ Questlove kept the dance floor bumping with his superior spinning skills.” What is that? A press release? A diary entry?
