Can you imagine how the pitch for this movie must have went?


If I owned a studio and someone came in talking about a Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah movie. I would probably throw them out a window. The pitch must have been about Jimmy Fallon is the comic relief with his usual making terrible jokes and laughing at them routine. Queen Latifah comes in a plays her typical stereotype roles. And then some hot models with no acting skills and bad accents come into play.





Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

The pitch was probably: "This was a French movie in the 90's that was a box office smash"

According to their book, the studio brought the project to the writers so no pitch session required. Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon were also brought on by the studio.
