Did You Get My Text: A Romantic Comedy Written by Steve Urkel?!
Hey, guess who’s all grown up and looking to start a screenwriting career? Yep, that’s right, Jaleel White, former star of the popular ’80s sitcom Family Matters, who most people will remember as the nasally nerd Steve Urkel. After starring in another unsuccessful show called Grown Ups, White eventually enrolled in film school at UCLA, and is now looking to make his return to Hollywood. He had a bit role in Dreamgirls, and now he has apparently sold his first script!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, his movie is called Did You Get My Text, a romantic comedy about a young man who meets a girl by text messaging on a friend’s phone, “turning their courtship into a comedy of technological errors”. Adrien Grenier (Entourage) will star, and Joel Zwick (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Fat Albert) will direct. I suppose I could make fun of how lame this movie sounds, but somehow I’m just proud of Urkel. Congratulations on a job well done, sir. In the meantime, you can check out Jaleel White’s basketball blog over at NBA.com!

It sounds kind of lame, but I’ll watch Adrien Grenier in just about anything. I can’t wait for Entourage to end so he can take more film roles.

By the way, my friend wrote a pretty hilarious fake fan fiction about family matters where Carl deals with his guilt after murdering Steve for sleeping with Laura and covering it up. It would make a much better movie:
