These roles are much crazier than some of those you've played in the past. Was there any freedom in playing flawed characters?
Isla Fisher: Yeah, I played a bipolar nymphomaniac in Wedding Crashers so to play a coke whore felt like a natural progression. I'm just trying to make my dad proud. I think I'm doing it one movie at a time.
Kirsten Dunst: I hadn't done a comedy in awhile so I was wanting to do one for so long. So finally this script came along. I was so excited because there's not many roles like this written for women. They usually just come from female writers and so it was fun to be the Type-A personality.
Lizzy Caplan: I think most characters that are well-written are flawed characters just in general so it's nice when somebody takes it really far.
Some of the comments have been that these are unlikeable characters. Do you feel that you make them redeemable?
Isla: I don't think they are unlikeable… These are characters you've seen in independent movies and other types of movies. It's just seeing them in a comedy and laughing at them is what's maybe unique about our movie. I don't think the characters are unlikeable per say.
Kirsten: It's a pressure cooker. [Our characters] are not like this all the time.
Lizzy: I think what our movie does that's really cool is that you laugh at these terrible things that these girls are doing but it seems like the audience can judge themselves for laughing at it.
Were the male co-stars intimidated by such a strong female cast? Do you think they held their own?
Lizzy: They had meaty roles. All of them had stuff to do but even if they didn't, I feel like they all would have signed up to do this movie. It's really cool to be around actors who are willing to take the backseat to the girls having the fun because we've been doing that forever.
