How was finally getting the two characters together?
Was it always planned?
Eugene Levy:It maybe wasnt always planned, and it didnt come from us.
I just didnt see it, but thought it was brilliant.
That was their doing, though I wish I could claim it as mine.
you could tell hes innocent and the kindest guy Ive ever dated.

Was the final scene scripted?
Or was there improv involved?
EL:The final scene wasnt in the original story pitch when they were laying it out.
Honestly, all I remember was the moment where I walk in and see her.
I thought that moment alone was brilliant, and then that was all there was.
They just meet, and then we can say who knows?
If theres another one, then something can happen.
I thought it might be too much, but then the way it was going, its actually perfect.
JC:I also pitched the other option for the ending, which was reversed.
Would you consider ever doing a spin-off movie with your characters?
EL:That would be great fun.
Weve kind of talked about it, thinking where these characters might go.
We thought that a Bonnie and Clyde thing would be good.
I think it would be great, but chances are this is probably the last one.
If it does well, I wouldnt be shocked if they said they were doing another one.
They never really, outside of the movie scene, showed the stuff we did.
There were other scenes that we did but were cut from the film.
I think more of that in another movie would be fantastic.
EL:I understand why, just because it wasnt moving the story along.
Theyve got a two hour cut, so theyre looking for things to trim.
How do you see the tradition of the high school sex comedy genre?
Do you still relate to these movies?
EL:Its an interesting question, as an adult do I find this kind of comedy funny?
This movie was done, as with the original, with a kind of intelligence to it.
Thats what works, but youve got to be really, really careful with it.
When its integral, organic and grounded, I think its fine.
Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge, thank you very much.
