The Pitch: An exasperated parent desperately attempts to find a way to put their young daughter to sleep...with increasingly infuriating (and hilarious) results.

Why It's Ridiculous: Few could have guessed that Adam Mansbach's satirical children's book would ever be optioned as a movie, especially considering the difficult-to-market title (which will almost certainly change for the movie release) and the fact the source material is just 32 pages long.

Will It Be Any Good?: It's hard to tell with so many aspects of the adaptation up in the air, but the main issue will be making such a short book fill a 90-minute movie without feeling padded.

It will probably be a fairly liberal retelling, but if it retains the same spirit, it could satisfy a huge audience niche (new parents who love R-rated humour).
