ELISABETTA BIANCHINI: Lindsay, I want to start with you. Truly, the second you're in anything, it's appointment watching for me. Absolutely. But what I loved about this movie for you, not only is it funny, but you do so much great physical comedy in this film, which is so fun to watch. Is it nice to be able to exercise that muscle and do some of that through this film?
LINDSAY LOHAN: Yes, it felt great. It feels-- I like doing physical comedy. When I'm allowed to, like, really go for it and they trust me with it, then I'm all in.
ELISABETTA BIANCHINI: Ayesha, for you, you know, when you see a character like this, you have, like, some really funny little gabs in here that I don't want to spoil for everyone. But you have, like, some little funny moments and a little funny one-liners. Did you have any room to improvise, bring some comedic kind of fun in there when you were on set?
AYESHA CURRY: Yes. And I think that's what was so cool about working with Janeen.
LINDSAY LOHAN: Yeah.
AYESHA CURRY: She gave us the freedom to do that and to play around with our characters, and maybe not stick so close-knit to the script. And then Lindsay just made me feel so comfortable on set that I-- it gave me the ability to step out of my comfort zone and play around a little bit.
LINDSAY LOHAN: Yeah, because it's good when you get to adlib. And you're great at it. So--
AYESHA CURRY: Thank you.
LINDSAY LOHAN: They are there, though, because if you watch the movie again, like, you see some of the little looks and things that you do, which are really great.
AYESHA CURRY: Thank you.
ELISABETTA BIANCHINI: Lindsay, we love seeing you in this. Also really great when you're-- the rest of your family gets to be involved. I don't think anyone was having more fun dancing than Dakota.
LINDSAY LOHAN: [LAUGHS] Yeah, he was. It's so funny you noticed that because he was doing it for so long, because it was two days. And then there was another dancing scene, and he was just having so much fun. We were like, aren't you tired yet? And he was just going.
AYESHA CURRY: Nope.
ELISABETTA BIANCHINI: Was it nice to be able to share that moment with him? And also, your sister has two songs in this. So you get to have a nice family affair.
LINDSAY LOHAN: Yeah, it felt really good. I feel so happy and blessed whenever I get them involved in anything I do, especially when my sister writes songs for the movies that I do. It's just-- her voice is so beautiful. And I'm just so proud of her, and Cody too. We just had-- it was so nice to film in Ireland because we both always wanted to go. We'd never been there. It's special to us. And now forever we'll have this.
