More films – particularly comedies – should follow the Seinfeld rule of “no hugging, no learning”.
Hopefully one such dark laugh-fest will be Big Brother, which Seann William Scott is currently in talks to star in. The plot sees a scheming, unprincipled businessman forced to take part in the Big Brothers programme.
No, not the reality show – the American volunteer mentor system, which sees well-rounded adults taking impressionable and challenging kids under their wing in the hopes that they can teach them how to behave while making their lives more fun. Scott’s character, however, loathes his assignment, but finds common ground when he begins teaching the kid all of his devious business tactics.
The Girl Next Door’s Luke Greenfield is calling the shots, and W Blake Herron has scribbling duties.
