Bless you, direct-to-dvd industry, for churning out endlessly amusing extensions of movies that never should have been franchises in the first place. An EW staffer casually mentioned the third Ace Ventura movie earlier today, inspiring a group of us to reminisce about the most random sequels we could think of — sequels many of us were hearing about for the first time.
And so, in honor of both these little-discussed gems and the gift that is Friday afternoon, here’s a list of the genre’s most unassuming entries. Caution: It’s about to get all nostalgic up in here. (Like that’s a surprise.

Fox Searchlight has signed In Search of a Midnight Kiss helmer Alex Holdridge to direct The F-Word, a screenplay which was listed on the 2008 Black List (an insider Hollywood listing of the best unproduced screenplays of the year). The biggest surprise about the F-Word is that it isn't the four letter word Fuck. It's "Friend". Based on the play ”Thoothpaste and Cigars” by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, and written by Elan Mastai, whose previous credits include Alone in the Dark, Mvp: Most Vertical Primate and Sk8 Life. But don't let those credits scare you off, this screenplay has been making a lot of buzz around town.The impression that I get is that it's a romantic dramedy for people who don't usually like those type of movies. The story is described as a story about “Two best friends struggle with falling in love without ruining the bond between them.
