The lovely Jennifer Garner and Anna Faris have signed onto star in The Bachlorette Party, which Pajiba describes as a Hangover-style comedy but with ladies.  Here’s a description of the plot:

A high-school teacher recently left at the altar must now send off her uptight cousin with a huge bachelorette bash. The cousin is marrying the teacher’s best male friend. During a drunken bachelorette party, the uptight cousin betrays her fiancée with a drunken indiscretion, leaving the teacher to decide where her loyalties lie.

I’m already confused, but I don’t have much faith in the project since the screenwriter is Karen Lutz who has become a hot ticket in Hollywood having recently co-written scripts for an adaptation of Janet Evanovich’s One for the Money starring Katherine Heigl, and a remake of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.  Unfortunately, Lutz’ previous credits include The Ugly Truth and She’s the Man.

    I thought "The Ugly Trutch" had some good moments and dialogue, lots of dialogue, just the wrong actors. Garner is good when the script is well-written. I hope there was a script she read before committing. It could be a continuation of her teacher role in "Valentine's Day." Maybe not.

    Question is who's directing?
  • Irons
    I wish Jennifer Garner stopped churning out these comedies and romantic comedies. Bring back the kick-ass Jennifer Garner!

    Matt - not that I liked the movies, but you failed to mention that she wrote the first Legally Blond. Studios will pay for her napkin scribblin's against the hope that kind of moderately budgeted lightning will strike twice.

    Also - chick gets a pass for writing 10 Things I Hate About You (though she and her sidekick on that flick seem to go out of their way to mention that a lot of what makes that film work was concocted on the set by Gil Junger).
