'Holidate' stars Emma Roberts, Luke Bracey, Jessica Capshaw, Kristin Chenoweth and Andrew Bachelor sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to talk about their new romantic comedy. Plus, Roberts opens up about being pregnant during quarantine.
00:08If you were going to have a holiday in real life,
00:11what three qualities does that person have to have?
00:14I mean, for me, a sense of humor would be number one,
00:18because especially if we're doing holiday in the style of the movie
00:22where it's a friend with no benefits, the person better be funny.
00:26And I mean, hopefully it's also someone that like I know
00:29or that I know or like friends know.
00:32So it's not like a total stranger.
00:34No offense in the movie that you're a total stranger, Luke.
00:37And then the last one would probably be wants to do like the same things as me.
00:43I was going to say wants to do what I want to do,
00:44but wants to do the same thing sounds better.
00:47I think for me, it'd have to be like humor,
00:49like take a joke, be able to make fun of themselves and myself and others.
00:53It's like one of the things Jackson says this line.
00:55It's like, we've got to be able to mock strangers and like have a laugh.
00:59So it'd be that.
01:00And then the other qualities were really good ones as well.
01:02Go with the flow is a good quality.
01:05And because I'm not such a great dancer,
01:07if they were a great dancer, that'd really help too.
01:10This holiday crap like your aunt.
01:13She seems like she's having fun.
01:15Good sense of humor.
01:18Take me home.
01:21In which way?
01:23Take me home.
01:25I think you know which way I mean.
01:26Oh, I think I do too.
01:27I just want to make sure everyone's clear.
01:30And also have a good appetite.
01:32Yeah, funny, smart, and take me home.
01:39Holiday rule number three.
01:41Leave no holiday behind.
01:47No hands touched.
01:50Your characters add so many hilarious moments to this movie.
01:53What made you want to be a part of this film?
01:55I was so excited to be part of this movie.
01:58I had spent a really long time playing the same character.
02:02So it was so much fun to come and be someone else.
02:07And then it was really fun because then no one knew that I was even kind of funny.
02:11And then every time I was even kind of funny, they'd be like, you're actually funny.
02:15So I got to feel good about myself on top of going to work.
02:18I think, you know, I needed to call my family in Oklahoma and apologize to them first before they watched some of the things that I, my character, participated in.
02:28But I think the outfits, the costumes, she's got costumes for every holiday.
02:34And that kind of seemed fun to me.
02:36I love the script.
02:38I love the concept of the whole holiday thing.
02:42And I think it could be the next movement.
02:46There's way too much pressure.
02:47It's ridiculous.
02:48Try being the only single person left in your family.
02:50Rodney said you didn't call him.
02:51You didn't call Rodney?
02:52Why didn't you call Rodney?
02:54Why didn't you call Rodney?
02:56Because I already have a boyfriend.
02:58With the holidays coming up, how excited are you to have a new addition to your family?
03:02I'm so excited.
03:02I mean, I feel like a baby during the holidays is, I'm so, so grateful.
03:07It's been something to look forward to during this kind of crazy year where, you know, I think it's been super hard.
03:15And I feel very lucky that I've gotten something to look forward to this whole time.
03:19We avoid this student pressure.
03:21And all the judgment.
03:25Happy Easter, my little buddy.
03:27Kristen, why do you think people will love this movie?
03:29Now's the time when I think we could use some laughter, to be honest with you, and just forget for a second.
03:34So I think people are ready for it.
03:35It's funny.
03:36It's feel good.
03:37It's a bit unexpected.
03:39Like, for me, when I read this script, I was really blown away by how, like, nostalgic and yet original a lot of the stuff was in it.
03:49So I'm excited for everybody to get to see this.
03:52It's right here in front of me.
03:56It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of
