Freddie Prinze Jr. is set to star in Vanessa Parise's romantic comedy "Dick and Jane vs. the World" reports Production Weekly.

Described as a love story for cynics, the film follows an organised, successful advertising exec named Dick who falls for his free-spirited actress roommate Jane and they decide to write a manifesto detailling their rules for life.

Unfortunately Jane has been ignoring the first rule - 'Be Honest' in order to hide her biggest secret. Parise will helm and star in the film which begins shooting late May in Los Angeles.
