Peter and Bobby Farrelly have set newcomer Malin Akerman to play the bride from hell in "Seven Day Itch," the DreamWorks comedy inspired by "The Heartbreak Kid." Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan are starring and Bradley Thomas is producing.

Stiller plays a man who hastily marries a young woman he thinks is his perfect mate. As he watches her turn into a nightmare on their honeymoon, he meets another woman who might be his real soulmate (Monaghan).

Akerman, best known for starring with Lisa Kudrow in the HBO series "The Comeback," will next be seen in the indie pic "Heavy Petting." She is currently filming "Brothers Solomon," the Bob Odenkirk-directed Revolution comedy that stars Will Forte and Will Arnett. She will also be seen this season in several of episodes of the HBO series "Entourage."

The Farrellys wrote the script, inspired by Neil Simon's original.
