Dimension Films has picked up PONY BUSH, a tennis country club comedy from first-time writer Brandon Murphy, with Broken Lizard in negotiations to produce, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The story follows deadbeat but lovable Chucky "The Poodle" Fife and his sidekick, "Honey Comb Love," who turn the snobby Pony Bush club upside down when Chucky teaches spoiled kids to lose with style while competing for the heart of the club's heiress before her uptight fiance gets a piece of her fortune.

Murphy is a waiter at a bar-restaurant in Bisbee, Ariz. While he has tinkered with writing, "Pony" was his first stab at a feature screenplay. He sent "Pony" to the ex-girlfriend of his Tulane University roommate, who now happened to be working at Benderspink.
