Justin Bieber And Ashton Kutcher Ask ‘What Would Kenny Do,’ But How About Reinventing These Other Classic Buddy Comedies?

 

Justin Bieber's already told you to never say never, and he's living up to that motto by following his massively successful documentary with his first scripted big-screen role — opposite Ashton Kutcher, no less!

The Los Angeles Times reports that Bieber and Kutcher are joining forces for "What Would Kenny Do?," a buddy movie that focuses on a teenager (Bieber) who is helped through the ordeals of high school living by a 30-something hologram (Kutcher) claiming to be the adult version of himself. If that doesn't sound like a winning combination to you, we're clearly not on the same page.

In fact, we're so into the idea of Bieber and Kutcher's looming team-up that we couldn't help ourselves from thinking about some other classic buddy movies they would reinvent with stunning success. Click the photo below for our Photoshop madness and read our Bieber-Kutcher buddy movie suggestions past the jump!

 

"Lethal Weapon"

There's a "Lethal Weapon" reboot in the works, right? Why not toss Bieber and Kutcher in there as the modern-day Murtaugh and Riggs! We've got a feeling that neither of these guys would get too old for this s*** anytime soon.

"Grumpy Old Men"

Speaking of getting too old, we'd love to see Bieber and Kutcher aged up to elderly status for a "Grumpy Old Men" remake. If you thought Jennifer Garner as Miss Marple was controversial, you haven't seen anything yet.

"Thelma & Louise"

Is there any friendship more powerful in cinema than the bond between Thelma and Louise? Some time has passed since that classic, and if anyone could bring it back with a renewed energy, it's our "What Would Kenny Do?" duo.

"Turner & Hooch"

While we're on the subject of friendship, how about an exploration of Bieber and man's best friend—a canine Kutcher, in this case, starring in a "Turner & Hooch" remake. There's no doubt that "Bieber & Kutch" would light up the box-office for weeks on end.

"Men In Black"

Alright, we'll keep it cool for our last pick: we would love to see Bieber and Kutcher starring as alien-busting agents in the next "Men in Black" movie. There's no reason these guys couldn't have a cameo when Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones' third "MIB" outing hits theaters next year.

Tell us some of the other classic buddy movies you'd like to see Bieber and Kutcher reinvent in the comments section and on Twitter!
