Hollywood loves the buddy film, and I have come up with a doozy of an idea for one. The premise is simple - it's a buddy film, a comedy buddy film to be sure, which is certainly not the doozy of an idea part.
The doozy of an idea part is that the film will feature endless cameos featuring other well know buddies from film and television.
For example, the two buddies who are the main characters in the film would be in a scene set in a coffee shop, and ahead of them in line would be Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson quarreling (comedically) over why the large coffee is called a "Venti" and not a "Magna", or some such dealio.
Behind the counter would be two baristas, played by Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey, who of course would be the most inept baristas ever. Maybe there could be a couple sitting at one of the tables and that couple would be played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
The possibilities are endless. Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan could play always quibbling copier repairmen that the main buddy characters have to deal with, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover could play two cops ('natch) who pull the two main buddy characters over for speeding, John Cho & Kal Penn could play the arrogant and imbecilic Mayor and his long-suffering aide who always straightens out whatever mess the Mayor creates, James Roday Rodriguez and Dule Hill could be in a scene as an angry customer complaining about the quality of a fast-food cheeseburger to a very indifferent fast-food restaurant manager, and Geena Davis & Susan Sarandon could be in a scene featuring a pissed off lawyer trying to maintain her calm while dealing with a completely oblivious-to-the-seriousness-of-the-charges High School teacher accused of attacking a parent at a PTA meeting.
You no doubt get the gist, so no more examples are necessary. Except for this last one:
