Was the fact that she was a more modern woman what attracted you to the part?
Drew: Yeah, I definitely was excited to play that.
I feel like I relate to that kind of person right now, in my life.
That, to me, was just an absolute pleasure.
What was the most challenging scene to do?
Drew: One of the challenges I was most excited about was doing the drunk scene.
It was the most fun day at work ever because I just really let loose.
What are your own favorite albums or movies?
Justin: I would sayBlood On The Tracksby Bob Dylan, Joni MitchellsBlueandRubber Soulby The Beatles.
Those are my top three.
Drew: Im gonna go withAnnie Hall,Lost In AmericaandSullivans Travels.
Those are some of my favorite movies.
The key moment in any romantic comedy is that first kiss.
Justin: Yeah, I was like, Its a necessary evil.
Okay, here we go.
It was just so easy to do, and we were so comfortable.
I think you just hope that youre invested in the scene.
Sometimes it can be a surprise, when youve never kissed the person before and youve just recently met.
And, people have different ways of kissing, which sometimes can be jarringly uncomfortable.
Drew: I just was lucky because Justin is a good kisser.
I was like, Phew!
At least it was a real team effort.
Justin: Shes a great kisser, too.
I just want to reiterate that.
Was the phone sex scene scripted or improvised?
Drew: The Marky Mark comment was written, for sure.
I was so excited to hit that.
I told him about that.
Justin: It didnt go over great.
I dont think he was prepared for it, but I think he was flattered.
Drew: Who would not be excited about that?
Hes a very nice guy.
Ive had other conversations with him that went much better than that.
Nothing against him, for sure.
And, it was shot simultaneously.
Id have to laugh and then get into this weird sexual mode.
They were tip-toeing around, whispering while we were in this very intimate moment.
I was like, Nanette, I think I know how to do it.
Ive had a lot of experience.
Drew: I thought it was interesting.
I thought we started to really look alike, which was cool.
We used to be in a dance class together when we were kids.
She looked really good in spandex, and I did not.
Ive known her forever.
We have a lot of parallels.
It worked for us.
Can you talk about working with Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, and what they added to the film?
Drew: For me, films work best when youre really invested in the whole group of people.
This movie stands on that.
One of the things I like best about this movie is all the people in it.
Justin: I pride myself on being able to hold it together, be stable and keep it together.
Ive never had a harder time keeping a straight face than working with these guys.
We were so lucky to be surrounded by all these people.
Do you see this film as a recession romance?
Im laughing, but Im crying, and Im relating, and theres something emotional about it.
I feel like it gets surprisingly real, but then it does save you and make you laugh.
Thats something that a lot of people, especially now, can relate to.
Drew: You want to see each other, but you cant because of money or schedule.
