Jim Carrey is continuing his return to comedy, but in a more adult vain. He's already signed to play a married man who's sent to prison and falls for his cellmate in I Love You Philip Morris. And now he's signed for Sober Buddies, a comedy he'll produce as well as star in.
In Sober Buddies, a hard partying software executive (oh, you know those IT people are ker-azy) is court-appointed a sober buddy to keep him under control during an important business trip to Vegas, land of the teetotal and judgementally spotless. The plan goes somewhat awry when the sober buddy (Carrey) re-embraces the joys of booze.
Andrew Kurtzman is writing the script.
