Cook plays a man hired to take girls out on terrible dates to prompt them to return to boyfriends they left. Conflict ensues when he offers his services to his best friend and falls for the girl, played by Hudson.

Production is slated to begin in August in Boston, with Howard Deutch directing from Jordan Cahan’s screenplay. A third-quarter 2008 release is planned via Lionsgate.

Hudson was in theaters last year with “You, Me and Dupree.” She stars opposite Matthew McConaughey in “Fool’s Gold,” set for a February 2008 release. Cook’s recent credits include “Employee of the Month” and “Mr. Brooks.”

In all fairness, I think Cook finally found a role that suits him perfectly; one that allows him to utilize the raunchy style of comedy that made him famous in the first place. In Bachelor No. 2, he’ll play a guy hired by men who have recently been dumped to take out their ex-girlfriends and show them a miserable time. The idea is that they’ll be so disgusted and turned off by what is out there, they’ll immediately run back to their old boyfriend who’ll lovingly welcome them with open arms. However, problems arise when Cook’s character is asked to take out the ex-girlfriend of his best friend who, I assume, will be played by Hudson (the ex-girlfriend, not the best friend). The two hit it off, he screws over his best friend and the moral of the story will be …

I’ve always had a thing for Hudson (she was my celebrity crush in our Cinematical/Moviefone poll), but the girl is killing me with all these romantic comedies. Do something different Kate! I really want to pimp your skills, but you’re giving me absolutely nothing to work with. You, Me and Dupree? Raising Helen? Alex & Emma? And what’s next — Fool’s Gold with Matthew McConaughey? I guess I’ll just have to keep watching Almost Famous over and over until the girl finally gives us a role worth talking about. ”
