You know, Anthony Mackie really needs a nickname. In Pain & Gain, he shares the spotlight with Marky Mark and The Rock, so for consistency's sake at least he needs a nickname.

Allow me to offer up Raisinets.

If you don't get the joke, then there's bad news and good news. The bad news is that you haven't yet seen the surprisingly amazing red-band trailer for Pain & Gain. The good news is that's about to change because I embedded it down below for you.

Now realize, this is a Michael Bay directed film starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson and I'm actually telling you that I'm pretty pumped to see it.

You see, it's a true story of a gang of bodybuilders in Miami in 1995 who decide that they want their share of the American dream, even if they have to steal it. Naturally, being bodybuilders and all, things go completely wrong and chaos ensues.

Did I mention this is a true story?

Oh, and it's set in the mid 1990s, so it's sort of ironic that Mark Wahlberg will be playing a bodybuilder in the midst of his Marky Mark heyday. Man, I hope that one of his funky bunch songs make it into the movie.

Anyhow, even if it doesn't, the film won't need any help in the comic relief department thanks to Ken Jeong and Rebel Wilson. You might recognize Jeong as he's currently starring in a Miller Lite ad campaign, or you know as that guy that was in that thing.

You might not be as familiar with Rebel Wilson, but I doubt you'll have any chance of forgetting her after watching this trailer. "I'm going to rock your world...Ninja-style."

Of course, you have to wait to the end of the trailer for the two biggest payoffs. So, what are you waiting for?

Pain & Gain hits theaters on April 26.
