Spring Breakdown Going Straight to dvd

"One of the Warner Bros films which Jeff Robinov cited to the Hollywood community while defending himself against my he-man women-haters club story was the comedy SPRING BREAKDOWN, starring a top-notch cast of great female comediennes including Parker Posey, Amy Poehler and fellow SNL alumna Rachel Dratch who also stars in and co-wrote it.

"The studio has decided, despite excellent test scores with women of all ages, and Amy Poehler's rising stardom (Baby Mama), that it should go straight to DVD," a source tells me. "This is pure and unadulterated hatred of female driven projects, especially comedies, at that studio. It's a real shame about this film, because women love it." Personally, I'm not at all sure the more sophisticated female audience for Sex And The City and The Women is clamoring for a dumbed-down women's comedy. But could it be worse content-wise than the Harold & Kumar franchise?

Thanks for the info! It doesn't surprise me since the release date has been pushed back so much.

ETA: I was just looking at the comments left on that post, and someone saw a test screen for it and enjoyed the movie a lot. That's a shame it won't get a theatrical release. Of course, I have my other reasons. It would have been nice to see some Justin and Lindsay pics walking down the red carpet. :P
