LOS ANGELES -- Amber Tamblyn, best known for her starring role in CBS' Joan of Arcadia, has joined the cast of the comedy feature Spring Breakdown.

The film revolves around three thirty-something friends who break the monotony of their uninspired lives by vacationing on an island that is a popular spring break getaway for college co-eds.

One of the women works for a powerful senator whose daughter is one of those co-eds, only she's as geeky as her chaperones. Tamblyn portrays the senator's daughter.

Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch and Parker Posey already are cast as the thirty-something friends.

Tamblyn, Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated for her performance on Joan of Arcadia, next appears in The Grudge 2, due in October. She stars opposite Tilda Swinton in Stephanie Daley, which will open this year.
