According to Hollywood Reporter, Amy Poehler is slated for newlywed blues in the upcoming film The Heartbreak Kid, from Dreamworks Pictures. She will have her heart broken by costar Jason Bateman, who falls for another woman while on their honeymoon.

And you thought you were having a bad day?

The film is a remake of the 1972 classic of the same name, starring Charles Grodin and Cybil Shepherd. Scott Armstrong and Leslie Dixon are writing the screenplay, and James Bobin (Da Ali G Show) is directing, in place of Barry Sonnenfeld.

Fans of SNL veteran Amy Poehler will be pleased to learn she is not planning to ditch the sketch comedy show for a career in movies. At least, not yet. Hopefully she will learn from Jimmy Fallon's recent film calamities and stick with Weekend Update. Jason Bateman has been critically acclaimed for his work on Fox's Arrested Development, an underground hit that has yet to find a sufficient audience.

No word yet on who will play the sultry mistress canoodling with Bateman. Amidst the flying rumors and homewrecker reputation, we can only hope it's not Angelina Jolie.
