The two actresses, who were personally selected by Bobby and Peter Farrelly, will star opposite Ben Stiller in the film. Ben thinks he’s married the girl of his dreams," Bobby said. "She’s beautiful, but then, on their honeymoon, he finds out she’s nuts."
The film is an adaptation of the 1972 movie The Heartbreak Kid, directed by Elaine May. Farrelly added that the crazy bride role was rewritten from the original version to make the character less sympathetic. Monaghan will play the woman that Stiller meets while on his honeymoon.
