Full Interviews: Andrew Douglas, Ryan Reynolds

-- Andrew Douglas --
Q: Can you talk about the headaches of working with kids and night shoots and rains and pets all at the same time?
ANDREW: That's almost the answer to the question, isn't it? It was very challenging. You've also got to add stunts to that, and we really did shoot on a very high roof 60 feet above the ground. A really high roof with an extreme pitch with slippery shingles with a 7-year-old child at night in the rain. Who thinks of that stuff? Who writes that stuff?

-- Ryan Reynolds --
Q: Did playing a father, all be it a crazy one give you any inclinations to being a real father?
RYAN: I'm not going to win father of the year award for this movie any time soon. Yeah, I love kids. Working with them I certainly didn't get very close to the kids because it wouldn't help my performance at all to get to love those kids. I don't know if looking at child actors is the best gauge for children (laughs). I remember a few years ago I worked with this one where the director said, "We've got to cut your hair for this scene." He looked up at the director and said, "I'll fucking sue you." (Laughs) Wow! Why put your kid in a movie? Just give him a crack pipe. Here's a lighter, there you go. It's just not a good gauge to see if you want to have kids hanging out with child actors.
