Romantic Comedy / Social Satire — In Development
A romantic comedy in development with DDP Media & Entertainment and producer Mike Epps, reimagining The War of the Roses with a modern comedic twist.
Overview
Cheaper to Keep 'Er is a modern comedic spin on the Hollywood classic The War of the Roses. Written by Tim Hightower and produced with comedian and actor Mike Epps, the film explores the fiery dynamics of love, marriage, and divorce in a humorous yet thought-provoking way. By blending sharp comedy with real-world relationship struggles, this project aims to resonate with a wide audience while delivering laughs rooted in truth.
Beyond being a comedy, Cheaper to Keep 'Er represents a broader vision for DDP's film slate — using entertainment to spark meaningful conversations about real-life issues. Backed by DDP's community-first approach, this film has the potential not only to entertain but also to generate economic and workforce opportunities in the cities where it will be produced.
