Your wish has come true...
New Regency has acquired “Mr. Romance,” a pitch for a comedy that will be helmed by “Four Christmases” director Seth Gordon.
Jeff Roda ("The Siege of Fulton Avenue") will pen the script.
Regency has acquired rights to a Joshuah Bearman article commissioned by GQ magazine. Tower of Babble’s Beau Bauman will produce with Gordon.
The pic will be a comedy about a cynical guy who is forced to enter the Mr. Romance competition to win back the love of his life. The competition, which finds hunks whose photos grace the bodice-ripping covers of romance novels, is a real event.

“Romance novels sell 50% of all books, and there is a convention where guys submit themselves to physical and psychological tests to determine their romantic IQ,” Gordon told Daily Variety.
This sounds like a cute comedy! Even though the statement about "bodice-ripping covers" annoys me.

Who can you see playing the cynical guy? I can see Gerard Butler in the role. *G*
