Star Kristen Bell and creator Rob Thomas launched a Kickstarter campaign last spring, which raised $2 million in less than a day to help fund a film version.

Original stars Enrico Colantoni, Ryan Hansen, and Jason Dohring all return, as well as newbies such as Jerry O’Connell and Jamie Lee Curtis. The film hits theaters on March 14, 2014.
