Frahm's deal is pegged at $250,000 against $500,000.
The comedy centers on the doctor with the world's worst bedside manner who undergoes a transformative experience that makes him overly empathetic.
Shadyac and Michael Bostick are producing alongside Underground Films' Nick Osborne. Trevor Engelson is executive producing.
William Lowery will serve as co-producer.
Underground Films, which manages Frahm, had been developing the script for more than a year. Prior to the sale, Frahm was a middle school teacher for austic children.
Shady Acres, which has a first-look deal at Uni, produced "Evan Almighty" and "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" for the studio.
