Jay Chandrasekhar thinks 'Opposites Attract'

Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar is set to helm Bold Films' upcoming comedy "Opposites Attract."

No detailed plot information has been released yet, but the Hollywood Reporter describes the flick as "a body-switching comedy involving a young couple who must 'walk a mile in each other's shoes' in order to make their relationship work."

Not exaclty a new concept.

That said, Chandrasekhar and co. are apparently shooting for an R rating, so don't expect any harmless, cute talk à la "Freaky Friday."

Chandrasekhar's directing credits include "Super Troopers," "Club Dread" and "The Dukes of Hazzard." Broken Lizard's latest comedy is "The Slammin' Salmon," and a "Super Troopers 2" is also in the works.

I personally don't like the Broken Lizard flicks at all, but that's just me. Who knows, maybe this one will actually turn funny.

Broken Lizard to return with 'Freeloaders'

The Broken Lizard comedy gang is teaming up with Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz for a comedy titled “Freeloaders.”

According to Variety, the plot focuses on five dudes and a girl who live in a rock star’s mansion. But when he decides to sell his crib, their extravagant lifestyle is seriously threatened.

Dan Rosen wrote the script with Dave Gibbs and is attached to direct the project. Duritz is on board to produce.

Broken Lizard’s credits include “Super Troopers,” “Club Dread” and “Beerfest.” The group is currently working on “The Slammin’ Salmon.”

Final word: I never enjoyed any of the Lizard’s comedies, so I am definitely not looking forward to this one. But hey, that’s just me.
