Money talks when it comes to a comedy pitch worth buying. 20th Century Fox has acquired Avon Man a comedy
pitched from Kevin Bisch who wrote Hitch. Avon Man is a star vehicle for Hugh Jackman. Sounds great, I’d buy Avon products from Mr. Jackman, any time.
The comedy follows men who are laid off from an auto dealership. One car salesman, Jackman, is reluctantly recruited into becoming an Avon salesman, and while the experience is initially emasculating, he uses his charm and good looks to become a top seller.
The comedy takes on a Full Monty theme when the former car salesman sets out to save his financially strapped family and town by recruiting his buddies into the makeup business to win a regional contest.
“Ding-Dong, Avon calling.”
