AFTER THE SUCCESS OF BRIDES-<br />
MAIDS, THERE WAS A LOT OF CHAT-<br />
TER ABOUT HOW STUDIOS HAD<br />
REALIZED THE POWER OF FEMALE-<br />
DRIVEN COMEDIES AND WERE GOING<br />
TO START THROWING MONEY AT<br />
MORE PROJECTS. NOW THAT A YEAR<br />
AND A HALF HAS GONE BY, HAS<br />
THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED?<br />
I don’t really feel like it has. Though I have to<br />
be honest, I haven’t been looking to work in<br />
the last six months. But I hope it has or will<br />
change. I think there’s always going to be a<br />
whole audience that wants to go and see these<br />
comedies. I know how excited I get for any<br />
female comedy—I’ll go and see anything that’s<br />
written by women or stars women—because I<br />
want to support them. It does feel like it’s hard<br />
to see stuff for us.<br />
THE TOOTH<br />
FAIRY<br />
THE GUARDIAN OF<br />
MEMORIES<br />
SO WOMEN WHO WANT TO SEE<br />
MORE FEMALE COMEDIES SHOULD<br />
GO OUT AND BUY TICKETS FOR<br />
THEM—EVEN THE NOT-SO-GOOD<br />
ONES—BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PUT<br />
YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR TASTE<br />
IS.<br />
Absolutely. You have to support everyone. It’s<br />
encouraging. There are so many bad maledriven<br />
comedies that continue to get made.<br />
Comedy is just hit and miss—it’s harder in<br />
some ways than drama.<br />
