Dan Mazer [Writer/Director]: “Well essentially, I think we, as men, have been burnt too often by our wives taking us to dodgy romantic comedies that are neither particularly romantic or comedic.”

Rafe Spall [‘Josh’]: “It’s true…”

Dan Mazer: “The type where you see every joke in the trailer, and they’re really not that good, and it’s always about sort of a gruff Irish pub landlord meeting a ditzy L.A. PR girl...”

Rafe Spall:  “Didn’t you write that one Dan? [laughs]”

Dan Mazer: “It’s the next one! I’m looking forward to it as I’m inventing now. I’m thinking ‘Hold on… and they have to chase a dog that’s swallowed a wedding ring round Venice and get the wedding ring out of the dog because otherwise the ditzy PR girl loses her job.’ It’s not bad is it? It’s not bad [laughs]

“But it doesn’t tell us anything about romance or real relationships, I wanted to make it kind of a comedy about romance - as opposed to a romantic comedy - that felt authentic, relatable and something I would want to go and watch because relationships and romance are funny fertile areas for comedy, and I don’t see why they have to be unrealistic.”

Rose Byrne [‘Nat’]: “I really liked that it started where a romantic comedy should really finish, so it was sort of about what happens after the happy ending. That was really interesting to me because as I get I older I kind of think the way a relationship starts is no indication of how it will go, and I just liked that it examined that.”
