Anna Faris, Ryan Reynolds to Star in 'TMI'

DateTuesday, November 17, 2009 at 9:43AM
Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris have been signed up for the romantic comedy TMI, a title I hate, but whatever. It might be the easiest title to give a comedy about having too much truth in a relationship, so that's understandable, but on the surface, it's roughly the same as naming a movie Talk to the Hand or (Implied Fist Bump).

Reynolds recently spoofed his romantic comedy transgressions while hosting Saturday Night Live, although he co-starred in the year's biggest romcom, The Proposal, which wasn't as bad as most flicks in the genre. That was based in large part on Reynolds and more to the point, his chemistry with Sandra Bullock.

The good news in this case is that he and Faris have appeared together a couple times before (Waiting, Just Friends), so because Reynolds is also an executive producer of TMI, he must believe working with Faris again is the best option. When she's in her element, that's probably true. The script is from Kirsten Smith of Legally Blonde and 10 Things I Hate About You fame, but she also co-wrote Faris' The House Bunny, adding another layer of familiarity here.

There's no official word, but I hear if the movie does very well it could lead to some TV spin-offs, like TMI: Miami.

(It was that or a joke about TMJ. What would you do?)

Like the cast...well, kinda- Anna Faris has been a bit insufferable as of late. I actually dug "Just Friends", ironically because Faris & Reynolds, not Reynold's supposed love interest Amy Smart, had the most chemistry. So this could be alright. Except it's from one of the writers of "The Ugly Truth" and "The House Bunny". So then again, maybe not.

I'm gearing up for the puns to come when the trailer is out. if it's super-corny & gives away the entire story within 2 minutes, I'll be all like "THIS TRAILER FOR TMI IS TMI LOLZ AMIRITE?"
