Peter and Bobby Farrelly, hard at work making Ben Stiller into a miserable newly wed for The Heartbreak Kid (or, The Seven Day Itch, as it might be known), have agreed to direct The Baster for Sony.

It’s a romantic comedy focused on that subject which is always ripe for laugh and loves: infertility. The script has been adapted from Jeffrey “The Virgin Suicides” Eugenides’ short story by Allan Loeb, who has also written a new version of French comedy The Valet for the brothers Farrelly to tackle.
