The Partridge Family coming to the big screen

Considering it’s been near a decade since "The Brady Bunch Movie" – the satirical piss-take on the classic sitcom – you’d think a "Patridge Family" film would’ve happened a while back. Never the less, it’s coming. One guy at the back just crapped his dacks with excitement, the rest of you flicked onto the next news story.

According to Variety, Paramount Pictures has hired the writing team of Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow to pen its big screen version of the series.

The duo previously wrote "Garfield" and "Cheaper by the Dozen" for Fox. Cohen and Sokolow received screenplay credit for "Toy Story" along with Andrew Stanton and Joss Whedon.

The adaptation is seen as a "contemporary mainstream comedy" about the origins of a musically oriented family along the lines of Paramount’s "School of Rock". The TV series aired on ABC from 1970 to 1974.

Surely, "Eight is Enough" is just around the corner?
