This will never make it out of the garage.

I dunno... My Super Ex-Girlfriend got made... ;)

Given the description of the character I'm sure they'll probably figure Larry the Cable Guy or some other cartoon character would sell the movie despite the premise.

The reason this WON"T get made IS the fact that My Super Ex-Girlfriend got made and tanked badly. This almost sounds like a Tim Allen Disney vehicle.
