A Merry Little Ex-Mas stars Alicia Silverstone, Oliver Hudson, Jameela Jamil, and Pierson Fod\u00e9 spoke with ComingSoon about their new Netflix movie<\/a>. The group discussed the film\u2019s funniest moments, its characters, and more. It is now streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n \u201cRecently divorced Kate (Alicia Silverstone) hopes for one last perfect family Christmas before selling her house. But her holiday plans are hilariously derailed when her ex-husband Everett (Oliver Hudson) unexpectedly introduces his younger and successful new girlfriend,\u201d says the synopsis.<\/p>\n Tyler Treese: Alicia, I was so excited because I wanted to see you and Melissa Joan Hart on screen forever, and it really lived up to my excitement level, getting to see you guys. So what stood out about working with Melissa? I know you both were producers on this as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n Alicia Silverstone<\/strong>: Well, to be honest, I\u2019d never seen Melissa act before this. I know that\u2019s like illegal, but I had no idea, and I was really impressed. I enjoyed working with her. I think she\u2019s a really good actress, so I loved it. I loved working with her as an actress.<\/p>\n Oliver Hudson<\/strong>: Have you seen me act before?<\/p>\n Alicia Silverstone<\/strong>: No.<\/p>\n Oliver Hudso<\/strong>n<\/strong>: Okay, great.<\/p>\n Alicia Silverstone<\/strong>: I\u2019ve never seen any of you. None of you.<\/p>\n Oliver Hudson:<\/strong> She had cast approval, but she\u2019s like, \u201cI don\u2019t, I guess\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Alicia Silverstone<\/strong>: No, I had to go through and watch things [laughs].<\/p>\n Jameela Jamil<\/strong>: She does eenie meenie miney mo, and then we got the jobs [laughs]. I am an Alicia and Melissa super fan, and so my inner 9-year-old lost my mind and I have\u2026 I dunno [about] this \u2019cause this is creepy. I have multiple selfies that I was taking of myself when they were acting together. I\u2019m just like in the background, just showing my friend where I am because I lost my mind with excitement. So it was very, very cool for me.<\/p>\n Oliver, your character and Alicia\u2019s are going through an \u201cconscious uncoupling.\u201d I love the use of that phrase throughout the film. How is it showing that these two had a reason for wanting to get divorced, but that there was still this connection and love was still there? How was it finding that balance? Because I thought it was really well done.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hudson:<\/strong> Yeah, I think it speaks to sort of just relationships in general. I mean, I think those embers were still burning, and they just needed to be stoked a little bit.<\/p>\n Sometimes you can just pass each other like ships in the night, and then before you realize it, you have built up resentment, and you haven\u2019t talked about it, you haven\u2019t communicated. And the scar tissue is now thick, and it\u2019s easier to say, \u201cYou know what, let\u2019s go our separate ways because this isn\u2019t working.\u201d When the reality is, it just needs to be talked about, you know? And I think that\u2019s sort of what happened here.<\/p>\n Jamil:<\/strong> I think you also just need to date a new woman who\u2019s so annoying that she sends you hurtling back to your original wife.<\/p>\n Hudson<\/strong>: Right [laughs]. Or that.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t think your character was that annoying, Jameela. One thing I liked about the film was that there wasn\u2019t a clear-cut villain. We do get to see a lot of the good sides of your character, too. So what really appealed to you about this role, Jameela?<\/strong><\/p>\n Jameela Jamil<\/strong>: That was something we talked about a lot. I think the temptation with Christmas movies or anything where there\u2019s the new woman is for her to be, especially the big city girl from loads of privilege coming around and looking down on the town, looking down on the ex-wife, like sabotaging.<\/p>\n We didn\u2019t want that dynamic. It\u2019s been done to death. I think we wanted to show that it\u2019s just two women navigating their own love lives who aren\u2019t enemies with each other. They\u2019re just caught in a very tricky triangle. And I like that. I like the idea of not pitting women against each other all the time. And I wanted her to be likable. I wanted it to be a challenge of you not wanting to know who you are rooting for necessarily, but obviously it\u2019s gonna be Kate.<\/p>\n It\u2019s just that it was fun to play nuance and someone who\u2019s just like\u2026 she\u2019s sort of having her own manic episode, you know. She\u2019s living a perimenopausal fever, right? You know, in this film. And so why is she at this man\u2019s house that she\u2019s known for a few weeks, and she\u2019s with his ex-wife, and she\u2019s trying to make it seem like that\u2019s completely normal, and she\u2019s just coping through the whole thing.<\/p>\n She\u2019s just, you know, she\u2019s going through her own little experience, and I\u2019m glad that she wasn\u2019t the typical villain. I think that would\u2019ve been very boring.<\/p>\n Pierson, you have my favorite scene in this whole film. I thought you were hilarious in it. How was it doing the exotic dance at the table? That was incredible, my girlfriend and I were both screaming during it. It was so funny.<\/strong><\/p>\n Oliver Hudson:<\/strong> I can answer this for him.<\/p>\n Pierson Fod\u00e8:<\/strong> Oh, please.<\/p>\n Hudson:<\/strong> It was easy for him because that\u2019s what he had done prior to becoming an actor.<\/p>\n Fod\u00e8:<\/strong> That\u2019s how I made my money in LA for years, and got my first job, was exotic dancing. Actually, at Oliver\u2019s house [laughs]. Just for him in his room. It was very interesting.<\/p>\n No, it was a blast. We had a great time. I mean, we, we couldn\u2019t stop laughing the entire day. Every scene that we shot I think was kind of funny and magic.<\/p>\n Jamil<\/strong>: I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen Alicia smile more.<\/p>\n Alicia Silverstone<\/strong>: It was really funny. It was hard not to laugh very hard at that scene. Yeah, there\u2019s a scene where you are just walking out. He kisses me and leaves, and he\u2019s tripping on ice. Everything he did, I was snorting with laughter, and I just think it\u2019s so brilliant that someone is handsome, and obviously, we\u2019ve all talked about his body, all that stuff, but he is just such a good actor. He plays the opposite. He goes for comedy at all times. He goes for goofy, ridiculous at all times, and that\u2019s really cool.<\/p>\n Fod\u00e8<\/strong>: Oh, thank you.<\/p>\n The post Merry Little Ex-Mas\u2019 Alicia Silverstone, Jameela Jamil, & More Talk Netflix Movie<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Merry Little Ex-Mas stars Alicia Silverstone, Oliver Hudson, Jameela Jamil, and Pierson Fod\u00e9 spoke with ComingSoon about their new Netflix movie.
