With “Easy A” in theaters proving that comedies about girls/women can be made without being completely condescending, sexist or stupid can we just ask Hollywood to actually think twice before putting projects like “Engagement Games” into development?
Well, they’re gonna do whatever the hell they want and as Pajiba reports, Emily Blunt is now attached to the film which frankly sounds better suited for Katherine Heigl. The already tiresome sounding “Engagement Games” is about “three sisters who get engaged at once and will stop at nothing to get their mother’s wedding ring. The dad settles the dispute with a game of Family Olympics.” Ugh.
The film has a script from Rachel Specter (“Just Go With It”) and Audrey Wauchope (“Breaking Upwards”), two actresses trying to make a name for themselves. No word yet on a director but we’re sure somebody mediocre will soon be attached.
