Q: Michelle, was there anything in the film that was too outrageous for your taste?

Michelle: No. Certainly not in this movie. It’s one of those things where you have to look at a script and say, “Yes, I’ll go here with them.” I’m not too modest of a person. I’ve got a pretty blue sense of humor. So, I’m pretty much game for anything. I couldn’t think of something, off the top of my head, that’s really offensive to me. As far as comedy, you can pretty much go anywhere.

Q: Can you talk about working with Danny McBride?

Michelle: I love Danny McBride so much. Danny McBride is just about the best guy ever. He is so funny and clever and quick. That character that he portrayed is just really . . . He’s just always some character. He’s so funny. But, I think my favorite line that he has in the movie is, “What are you smoking, the devil’s lettuce?” And, he just came out with that, and we were like, “Oh, shit! [Laughs] The devil’s lettuce? I’m so going to have to use that!” [Laughs]

Bobby: McBride made good choices. As written, he’s just the guy who’s like, “I don’t know about that guy.” And, we’ve seen it in other movies. He’s suspicious of someone who’s dating the sister or the cousin, or something, and there’s a lot of ways to do that.

Michelle: He really made it into something special.

Bobby: He did it in such a way that it was really unique. His take on it was unusual, and I loved it.

Q: Michelle, can you talk about how it feels to have been cut out of a couple films? Does that breed a paranoia?

Michelle: I have been cut out of the films and, at that particular point in my career, I was like, “But, am I still getting the paycheck?” [Laughs] They were like, “Yeah, but you’re not going to be in the film,” and I was like, “Alright, I can deal with that.” I did ‘North Country’ after I had been cut out of ‘Constantine’ and ‘Syriana,’ and I had a few scenes cut out of a film called ‘Unfaithful,’ and I remember thinking, “Okay, I don’t think they can cut me out of here. I’m integral to the script. If they take me out of here, then that doesn’t make sense, that doesn’t add up.” It was so funny. Both of those directors were real gentlemen, and they called me up personally and said, “We’re so sorry. We have to take you out.” And, Francis Lawrence was really dear and he put those scenes on the DVD, so that meant a lot to me. But, the paycheck meant a hell of a lot more. [Laughs]

Q: Bobby, except for ‘Fever Pitch,’ every one of your movies has featured some kind of road trip. Why is that material that you return to?

Bobby: My brother and I were road trip guys. We used to love to [go on road trips], and we still do. When we get a little bit of writer’s block, we’ll get in the car and drive from one end of the country to the other. We’ll drive from here back to Massachusetts because, when you’re stuck in a car, you have nothing to do, so you get creative. It always helps us get through to the next level. So, we enjoy road trips. It’s good for this story because it will let you know, right away. If you think you’re about to get married, get in a car and take a road trip with [the person]. You find out an awful lot. It’s hard to be in a car with someone for three or four days. Little tiny things will start to get on your nerves. It’s kind of a microcosm of marriage.

Q: Michelle, have you ever gone on a road trip with your husband?

Michelle: Yes. And, we’re still married. [Laughs]

Q: Can you guys talk about what you have coming up?

Bobby: I believe my brother and I are going to make ‘The Three Stooges,’ at some point. We’re going to try to reinvent them. We also have a project over at Fox, called ‘Hall Pass,’ about a couple of married guys whose wives give them a week off from the marriage to sew their oats. We’ve got a couple projects like that, but I’m not exactly sure. We’re always writing and trying to work on new stuff. We’ll come up with something.

Q: Do you think you’ll be able to tackle a project before this “strike” happens?

Bobby: I’d hate to think that I would jump into a project, just for that reason. We would only make a movie if we felt like we had a script where we wanted it to be and, right now, we don’t. But, maybe we will by the time the strike happens. I don’t know.
