As a fan of Judd Apatow, it is hard not to be smitten with his lovely and talented wife Leslie Mann. She is beautiful, genuine and manages to steal nearly every scene she is in. In THE CHANGE-UP, she once again captured my heart with an amazingly funny (and oftentimes sexy) performance. Mann has an uncanny ability to bring tears to the audience and within seconds, make them laugh out loud. It’s a rare skill that she seems to have mastered.
When we talked to Leslie and THE CHANGE-UP’s director David Dobkin, we gave a fascinatingly large amount of praise to the actress. Dobkin himself added to the fun as we both agreed that her performance in KNOCKED UP was award worthy. And of course, after giving this fantastic lady her props, we talked a little about her work in the new comedy. Both David and Leslie were wonderfully delightful to speak with, and damn is she funny in THE CHANGE-UP.
The film opens this Friday at a theatre near you.
