Casting Crime: Dorks Paired with Alison Brie and Lizzy Caplan

06.03.11 Written by Matt

This is movie news and therefore more of FilmDrunk’s realm, but Alison Brie and Lizzy Caplan are such crowd favorites here that I need to share this casting news. Brie (star of “Community” and “Mad Men”) and Caplan (“Party Down,” “True Blood”) have been cast as sisters in an indie romantic comedy called Save the Date.

Awesome, right? Well, yes and no. The gorgeous and talented actresses will be paired with Geoffrey “Snozzberries” Arend and Martin Starr (inset, left). Details from the AV Club:

Caplan will play a woman who’s “ambivalent about her future,” while Brie plays her sister, one who’s “more at peace with life and long-term commitment.” Rounding out the cast is Caplan’s former Party Down partner Martin Starr, and she’ll also be romanced by a music-loving guy played by Geoffrey Arend, better known as the husband to Brie’s Mad Men co-star Christina Hendricks.

Now, I have nothing against Arend and Starr as actors. I especially liked Starr in “Party Down,” which — unlike Save the Date — smartly acknowledged that someone who looks like Starr has no chance of romancing someone who looks like Lizzy Caplan. I mean, come on, Hollywood. I know Brie and Caplan play approachably cool hot girls, but they still have their sense of vision.

“Mad Men” actress Christina Hendricks took a huge step in breaking off my imaginary love affair with her yesterday when she married comedic actor and human-sized fish/troll mutant hybrid Geoffrey Arend at New York City restaurant Il Buco. People says:arend-hendricks

The redheaded Hendricks, 34, and actor Arend, 31, were engaged earlier this year after being introduced by her Mad Men costar Vincent Kartheiser…

Hendricks said she loves “everything” about Arend. “He’s considerate, he’s thoughtful, he’s smart, he takes care of me,” she said in July. “He’s very, very giving.”

Not on a list of “everything”: handsome. Listen, I don’t expect famous sexy people like Christina Hendricks to date unfamous sexy people like me. I know my lot in life. But this just sets a bad example for the rest of the world. Because if that dude gets Christina Hendricks, then I warrant a Brazilian bikini model with no gag reflex and a vibrating vagina. So ladies, if that’s not you, forget about getting with this. You can blame Christina Hendricks.

UPDATE: Just Jared has photos from the wedding. This may come as a bit of a surprise, but she looks really pretty and he’s not very attractive.
