Paul Rudd Rom-Coms With Owen Wilson

Sure he’s good looking, but he’s also smart and incredibly talented. I’d hoped brains would be enough to save Paul Rudd from the world of rom-com. After all, leading men roles in those movies is usually reserved for the sexy brain dead, isn’t it? But Rudd is trespassing on Matthew McConaughey’s territory by being sucked into a rom-com with Reese Witherspoon.

Variety says Rudd along with rom-com regular Owen Wilson are in talks to join an untitled Reese Witherspoon romantic comedy. What’s it about? Nobody’s talking. Does it matter? It has Reese Witherspoon. The frau will show up in force to support it. She’s still America’s sweetheart, or whatever. It's a James L. Brooks movie though, and he's one of the mind behind The Simpsons. That could mean that in addition to making tons of money, it may also be funny. Having Rudd involved can only help.
