**Three’s Company: the Movie** - Two single young women in L.A. who need a third roommate choose a straight man their own age. The landlord absolutely could not care less so long as he passes the credit and criminal background checks. Makes Guinness Book of World Records as the shortest movie of the decade. OR… You could star Miley Cyrus, Lea Michele, and Eminem, with Joe Pesci and Roseanne as the Ropers. And Eminem as Jack has just been released from prison… hmm. That might work. ---

And Eminem as Jack has just been released from prison… hmm. That might work. I was going to say that when the Ropers go to run his credit and criminal background checks they can’t because according the credit and criminal agencies, there is no such person as Jack Tripper.
