Rose Byrne: “I guess as an actor, you’re very much your character’s lawyer, so you’re fighting for them, you’re gonna win their case no matter if they’re guilty or not guilty in that sense, so I was always on her side, and I don’t know if you can make someone likeable.
“And a lot of the comedy comes from, the difference between the two of them. That’s what makes it funny and for me, the more compromising the character the more interesting. It’s like those people in life that you are completely obsessed and frustrated by, but they’re the one’s that create the drama, so that’s what we want to see on screen.”
Rafe Spall: “It’s a definite balance to strike, to see why she would get together with him in the first place, why she might find him annoying but, the things that she finds annoying, Anna Faris’s character thinks is brilliant…”
Dan Mazer: “And also that was my job really, in the edit. I just wanted Rafe to go out there and be as funny as he could and kinda push that, because being annoying is quite funny…
“So I wanted him to push that as far as he possibly could and so then it’s my job afterwards to kind of strike that balance, when we could go to that extreme, and when we needed to pull back on it, and Rafe’s so brilliant that he can play the whole spectrum of levels annoyance…”
Rafe Spall: “There is some stuff that’s not in the film anymore that, well I think is really funny stuff that would’ve, skewed the balance a bit, but hopefully that’ll appear on the DVD at some point.”
