The first problem: The plot “is described as revolving around women competing to plan a friend’s wedding party.” Wow, women getting catty about something wedding related? That sounds slightly… unoriginal. So let’s hope there will be some sort of fresh approach, and that it will come nowhere near the heinousness of Saturday Night Live alum Casey Wilson’s unwatchable Bride Wars.

The second problem: The increasing backlash against Kristen’s alleged spotlight-hogging on SNL. The writers have been using her rubber face and knack for impersonations in almost ever sketch this season, and there is such a phenomenon as “too much of a good thing.” Will we already be tired of her schtick by the time the movie comes out?

But it’s not all bad news. Judd Apatow and Paul Feig created Freaks and Geeks, which became something of a cult classic, so clearly they know how to spot a good thing. (Not to mention Apatow’s success with Knocked Up, Superbad and the rest.) And despite Kristen’s hilarious/exhausting performances on SNL every week, she’s yet to break out. It’s about damn time she’s headlining a project.

Hilary Duff will star as a fashion reporter who goes undercover in the business world in order to write an article about dating men in suits – she’s hoping this article will be her big break in the magazine world. She’s also looking for her big break in love.

If the movie stays true to the book, Hilary will play Lane Silverman. In the book, Lane is so obsessed with meeting Prince Charming that her work often comes second. Described as a “flighty, romantic” person with a “wild imagination”, she comes up with the idea of combining work and pleasure with this article about finding love. Cosmopolitan magazine loves the idea, she gets a job easily at a financial company…. but the ‘perfect man’ Lane finds… he ends up not working for that company.

The 2-hour original movie will be directed by Gil Junger (10 Things I Hate About You), with the screenplay adaptation by Mike Horowitz. The film will be executive produced by Hilary Duff, alongside Frank Von Zerneck, Robert Sertner, Ira Pincus and Jessica Horowitz. This is not Hilary’s first credit as producer; she was producer for Material Girls and executive producer on Greta as well.

A Great Education is the directorial debut for Chris Keyser. The script is about a young man who is accepted to Harvard on scholarship. While there, he joins an elite singing group called the Krokodiloes. This elite group moves in a fast-paced world of parties, social engagements, private clubs and an “air of entitlement.” The young man falls for a society girl named Liza (Hilary Duff) and his scholastic work begins to suffer.

Hilary Duff co-starred with Ben Kingsley in War, Inc, which was released about a year ago. Ben Kingsley stars in this movie as a Professor at Harvard. As yet, Hilary’s co-star (the male lead of the film) has not been announced.

The film will be shot this October in Canada.
