This is movie news and therefore more of FilmDrunk’s realm, but Alison Brie and Lizzy Caplan are such crowd favorites here that I need to share this casting news. Brie (star of “Community” and “Mad Men”) and Caplan (“Party Down,” “True Blood”) have been cast as sisters in an indie romantic comedy called Save the Date.
Awesome, right? Well, yes and no. The gorgeous and talented actresses will be paired with Geoffrey “Snozzberries” Arend and Martin Starr (inset, left). Details from the AV Club:
Caplan will play a woman who’s “ambivalent about her future,” while Brie plays her sister, one who’s “more at peace with life and long-term commitment.” Rounding out the cast is Caplan’s former Party Down partner Martin Starr, and she’ll also be romanced by a music-loving guy played by Geoffrey Arend, better known as the husband to Brie’s Mad Men co-star Christina Hendricks.
Now, I have nothing against Arend and Starr as actors. I especially liked Starr in “Party Down,” which — unlike Save the Date — smartly acknowledged that someone who looks like Starr has no chance of romancing someone who looks like Lizzy Caplan. I mean, come on, Hollywood. I know Brie and Caplan play approachably cool hot girls, but they still have their sense of vision.

Looks like it’s sexy Friday here at WG.
picture of Caplan > picture of Brie
And Geoffrey Arend is married to Christina Hendricks. He can go fuck himself.
“smartly acknowledged that someone who looks like Starr has no chance of romancing someone who looks like Lizzy Caplan”
Nor could someone like Arend romance somebody like Alison Brie.
Oh shi-
I know it is mentioned in the article, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew to drum the hate.
Too be fair though, Snozzberries is married to the gorgeous Hendricks. Maybe there is something to it.
The worst part of them playing sisters is that means there’s almost no chance of them having a make-out scene.
ALMOST no chance.

Picture of Brie > Picture of Caplan > A hot pastrami sandwich > Emily > Zoeey
Anybody know who Arend is married to?
It’s Hollywood. I’m surprised that they’re not paired with fat guys.
And Lizzy’s greatest film role will always be Janice from Mean Girls.
@DG, I disagree except for the placement of the hot pastrami sandwich.
@Burnsy, I think I read somewhere he’s married to Christina Hendricks.
@Patty, if it were a sitcom they’d be paired with fat guys.
Lizzy Caplan and Alison Brie could both do so much better than those tards.
Lizzy=Alison>Emily>Zooey
Love is blind, movie audiences are retarded. Nothing new here.
It took me half an hour to realize that there are actual words on this page beneath those pictures. It’s like a Magic 3D Poster. Stare long enough and the background becomes a website with links and comments and everything!
Lizzy Caplan and Alison Brie could both do so much better than those tards.
Yeah, like this tard right here *points to self*
@Dot”It took me half an hour to realize that there are actual words on this page beneath those pictures.”
THERE ARE WORDS ON THE PAGE?
@Taco- I see what you did there.
Anyone see the recent pics of Hendricks in a bathing suit? I am POSITIVE someone like Arend could land Hendricks.
In other news…Brie has never done it for me, and Caplan always has. But those pictures are having the opposite effect on me right now.
Jeeeebus; OBVIOUSLY Kevin James would be much better casting as the man these two beauties were after.
@The White Boom Boom; I believe they are half sisters, so……..
Point: Geoffrey Arend looks like Geoffrey Arend AND his fucking name is Geoffrey.
Counterpoint: Geoffrey Arend beds the best boobs in the business AND gets to make out with at least one of those babes in this movie.
As no sense can be made of the universe, there’s no point in debating anything ever again or even attempting to be rational or civil. From now on you can find me on the YouTube and Washington Post comment forums.
They’re playing sisters?!?!? That decreases the chances that they’ll kiss by 80% (Still an indie movie though) but increases the hottness of that kiss by 400%, a solid 400%, more like 405%, really.
I agree with DG. Sorry, I ate the hot pastrami sandwich.
