I haven't been too impressed with Tim Allen's latest slate of released films and relieved to see him jumping into a comedy genre that is a proven hit. Co-starring with George Lopez, the duo is set to be in-laws.
George Lopez and Tim Allen are Amigos
What's been done with Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, The In-Laws, and even Fools Rush In, is about to be done again with Amigos. However, don't assume that this is a bad thing; in-law comedies have proven their box office power time and time again.
According to Variety, Touchstone Pictures has picked up old friend Tim Allen and George Lopez to co-star in the comedy Amigos.
Tim Allen will produce the pic with Todd Garner.
In the pic, based on an idea by Allen, he and Lopez will play mismatched in-laws who have to raise their grandson.
Amigos will be a reunion of sorts. Tim Allen recently worked with producer Garner on the film Zoom and has had multiple encounters with Touchstone Pictures (Disney). Tim Allen also recently released another Disney-based film, The Shaggy Dog, to theatres.
Amigos marks the return of Todd Garner to Disney since his departure to Revolution Studios.
George Lopez, who is currently working on the fifth season of his series on ABC, is also set to star in the Universal pic The Richest Man in the World.
Will Tim Allen ever have another movie as funny as Galaxy Quest?
