It feels like thats part of the culture now.
Those are the guys at the Sun Valley [media and tech] conference.
Theyre the new establishment and that dialectic felt like really interesting material for a movie.
Theyre very different kinds of actors, but thats the story.
Theyre different people in this movie.
He is the nicest guy and obviously so talented.
Wed been talking about this movie for a long time.
I remember [Bryan and I] first talked about it backstage during the last episode ofThe Colbert Report.
John had asked us to do it and we were like, What do you think?
Maybe we should do it together.
The problem is Laird doesnt know how to behave.
Eventually it is like, what are you doing?
His wife is like, youre at war with this guy, hes not fighting.
Ned has to realize that, but Laird also does some messed up things.
He doesnt do anything in an arched way.
He just does it because he doesnt know better.
Hes probably not around parental figures that much.
Thats where the comedy comes from, some of it on his side.
I guess for my characters arc, hes really trying to like everybody.
All hell breaks loose in this one-sided war of my father against my boyfriend.
My boyfriends not really engaged at all.
I think like anybody in real life, you try different tactics [to handle the situation].
MEGAN MULLALLY:I think when we first arrive were feeling protective of our daughter, Stephanie.
We keep finding out more and more.
Hes had her face tattooed on his chest, hes got our family Christmas card tattooed on his back.
We find out theyre living together, we find out all of these things.
Its all a big surprise.
As the movie goes on, Barb blossoms a little bit and comes out of her shell.
Theres been a lot of find-it-in-the moment sort of stuff thats come about.
MULLALLY:Im sure youve seenI Love You Man.
Not necessarily on my part, but some of the other actors.
Its likeThe Wizard of Oz.
