Regent Releasing has picked up all North American rights to Tom Putnam's romantic comedy "The Hottie and the Nottie" says Reuters.

The Paris Hilton vehicle has set a February 8th release in ten major markets around the country - just in time for Valentine's Day.

Penned by Heidi Ferrer, the heiress and former inmate plays Cristabel Abbott, who's been eyed since the first grade by an obsessed Nate Cooper (Joel David Moore).

To finally win her affections, Nate is forced to first find a boyfriend for her less-than-beautiful friend June Phigg (Christine Lakin).
