“Patty Amore (Heigl) has her share of problems as well. Shy and introverted, she's filled with various tics and nervous habits. A secret from her past, combined with her over-protective father, have caused her to withdraw from the dating game. When Nick and Patty meet, literally bumping into one another, they share an immediate connection. When these two emotionally damaged people attempt to date one another, their families get involved, and the results are hilarious," the official synopsis reads.

The team is set to start filming in August.

David Polemeni, Tamara Birkemoe and Mark Damon are serving as executive producers on the film. PTI
