With their new rom-com, Alison Brie and Dave Franco reimagine ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ with a special twist.
It’s fascinating to me when real-life couples work together, because for every Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach or John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, there are couples in the industry who swear that their relationship works because theyPart of it is that we don’t question the magic of it. We love being around each other. We have really similar sensibilities. For all the reasons that our relationship works, those are also the reasons why working together works.
We also just genuinely really believe in each other. I’ve always known what a great actress Alison is, but when I was able to watch her intently for months at a time, I realized that she’s one of the best. She is so unique in her ability to navigate back and forth between comedy and drama.as a template and then subvert our expectations of that film. How did you decide on that as a reference point, and how many times have you seen the movie by now?And I’ve probably seen it 24 times, at least.
’ character in that movie is making questionable decisions throughout. She’s not your typical lead character in a romantic comedy, and it makes it so that you don’t know where the story’s going.Part of the reason that we wanted to make this movie is because we are such fans of the rom-com genre—to pay homage while also being the anti-rom-com. We’re embracing it and pushing it away at the same time.
