I’ve always wanted to do a romantic comedy.  It was a long time ago that I read this script.  I was making a movie called Just Wright, with Queen Latifah, at the time.  I was sent the script and I read it, and I laughed out loud.  Then, I brought my husband and my best friend over and said, “We’re gonna do our own table read.”  Everybody was like, “It’s great!  It’s funny!”  So, when I got back to L.A., I met with David Talbert.  We had a great meeting.  But as things go in Hollywood, the movie just didn’t happen.  It fell apart, a little bit.
