"Best and the Brightest" shooting near Rittenhouse Square

"The Best and the Brightest," starring Neil Patrick Harris and Bonnie Somerville as a couple doing anything they can to get their child into an elite kindergarten program, began shooting in Center City this morning. Movie trucks, trailers and catering tents can be found along the 1600 block of Chestnut and 17th Street between Chestnut and Locust.

On an unrelated note, NPH, who on Sunday will host the Tony Awards live from New York,  is a stand-up guy.

The "How I Met Your Mother," and "Doogie Howser" star, most assuredly a bigger name than Kal Penn, was more than happy to get on the phone to promote "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay," while Penn, the film's star, refused to speak to the Daily News.
