"The Love Guru" director Marco Schnabel and "Little Fockers" writer Larry Stuckey are finding a girlfriend.

The pair are teaming to write "Girlfriend in a Coma," a satirical high school comedy that looks at an unlikely romance, with the pitch set up at Fox Atomic. Michael McCullers and 3 Arts will produce the project. McCullers wrote and directed the Tina Fey-Amy Poehler hit "Baby Mama" for Universal.

Schnabel and Stuckey met and honed their chops under comedy veteran Jay Roach. Schnabel was a second-unit director on Roach's "Meet the Fockers," and Stuckey was an associate producer on the 2004 film.

Fox Atomic is set to release youth-themed comedies including "The Post Grad Survival Guide" and "Miss March."

Schnabel is repped by WMA and 3 Arts; Stuckey by ICM; and McCullers by Endeavor and 3 Arts.
