57th San Francisco International Film Festival - “The Skeleton Twins” Premiere

“I love when Kristen first comes through that curtain. I just thought Kristen delivered such an amazing performance, on so many levels, in that scene. But maybe my favorite part of it was the actual chemistry between everybody. Wendi [McLendon-Covey] and Ellie [Kemper] had such a difficult task to pull off — that was actually the biggest challenge of that scene. We knew where it going to end up, but getting to that point, where they’re going to kiss, was a very difficult obstacle to overcome. It can’t come across as a Girls Gone Wild moment. It comes out of desperation. [But] they pulled it off with flying colors.”

“It’s funny, we didn’t expect the [big] laugh to come from [the air marshal reveal]. But then we realized in perspective why people laughed there. Because the whole time you think [Melissa McCarthy’s character] Megan is crazy. We actually thought the laugh was going to come from when Melissa pops out and tackles Kristen. It’s funny to see where the laughs come from when you cut everything together and make all the pieces fit.” - Annie Mumolo
