Dec 5 2008Anna Faris Wins More Starring Roles in Mediocrity
THR reports Anna Faris has plans to continue under-utilizing her comedic potential on two more seemingly bland, broad comedies. Just reading these one-sentence descriptions, you can already imagine exactly where in the trailers you'll hear the distinctive "hey! hey! hey!" of "Treat Her Right":
Paramount has picked up an untitled pitch from Faris, Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith that will produced by Happy Madison.At the same time, Columbia has acquired the romantic comedy "20 Times a Lady" to act as a starring vehicle for Faris. Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan wrote the script, which is based on the book by Karyn Bosnak. Contrafilm's Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson are producing.
The untitled Paramount project is a female buddy comedy following two estranged sisters who team up to land a husband.
"Lady" centers on a woman who goes on a trek through her sexual past in an effort to find Mr. Right, exploring the idea of a person's sexual quota and whether those numbers matter.
If you're wondering which is more likely to be offensively awful, it's the latter. Both concepts taste like dust, but only 20 Times a Lady also tries to shoehorn in a point about the necessity of promiscuity. Though I do like that it sounds like a time travel transvestite movie.

Is she the female Rob Schneider?

I think she's just Rob Schneiders vagina.

Well, whenever she's ready to step up her game a little, she's already received my script for a movie where she takes my peener into her honey pot. Instead of the regular boy-chases-girl intro as in many romantic comedies, she instead sucks on my balls for the first twenty minutes.
I've already got Rob Schneider attached to costar.

I'd do her over Rob Schneider.

Um... is it just me or does "20 Times a Lady" sound a LITTLE BIT like "Broken Flowers"? Only, ya know, with less Bill Murray awesomeness and more of Rob Schneider part 2.

Didn't CBS already cancel a show about a woman going through her past sexual partners?

I find it really disturbing that it's nearly !!2009!! and nearly every single film Hollywood makes aimed at women is about how they need to get married or else.
