Variety is reporting that Fox Searchlight has acquired screen rights to Jen Sacks' Nice, an eyebrow-raising romantic comedy about a timid woman who would rather kill her boyfriends than hurt their feelings by breaking up with them.

The movie is being as a potential star vehicle for Reese Witherspoon. I'm not sure how I feel about her in this role--I mean, I certainly think she could play a serial killer, but I have trouble picturing her as as delicate, argument-shirking flower.
