It was just announced recently that Lance Gross is the leading man in the Fox Searchlight project.  The House of Payne star will apparently be the groom to Ferrera’s bride.

Already announced as part of the project are Forest Whitaker and Carlos Mencia.  I think it’s a pretty good assumption to say they are playing the fathers who don’t like each other.  This is some first rate talent!

I am really glad that Ferrera is FINALLY working on a comedic film.  I really do appreciate her more serious works, but we Ugly Betty fans are quite aware of America’s comedic talent (think Odor in the Court), and I think it will be wonderful that she’s giving comedy a go on the big screen.

With such a great cast, if this Rick Famuyiwa comedy could be a huge hit.  The theme is a time-tested one, and usually makes for great comedy.

It’s also funny that Ferrera is once again filming a scene with a baseball glove on her hand.  This is becoming a habit!
