happythankyoumoreplease falls under the very small niche of traditional Sundance romantic comedies, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing … if the movie is good. A small indie movie with great performances, the film was helmed by Josh Radnor, best known for his role as Ted Mosby on the CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. This is Radnor’s first feature film as writer and director, and it’s playing in Park City this week.
One reason this film charms is because of the excellent performances he got out of his leading actresses Malin Akerman, Kate Mara, and Zoe Kazan. We sat down with these lovely ladies to talk about the film, and to find out more about their characters.
Fans of “Arrested Development” have been waiting patiently for a movie version of the television series since the show’s finale in 2006. If word on the street is to be believed, series creator Mitch Hurwitz is hard at work on the screenplay — it’s just a matter of finishing the thing and getting the cast members on the same schedule.
There’s at least one “Arrested Development” alumnus itching to get back into his manchild clothing and false limb — none other than Buster himself, actor Tony Hale. When MTV News spoke with the comedian at the Sundance Film Festival, Hale said that he and every other cast member from the series are eagerly awaiting the script.
“I actually talked to Mitch last week and he’s writing it, and [the cast members] are all on board,” said Hale. “We’re all stoked to do it.”
While Hale is eager to resume his dysfunctional relationship with the rest of the Bluth family, he also feels that waiting could be a good thing.
“I want [Hurwitz] to take his time, because the writing is such a surprise,” he said. “One week you go, okay, a seal is going to bite off your hand. By the way, Liza Minnelli is going to be your girlfriend. There are all these surprises and we want those surprises, so I want to give him as much time [as he needs].”
Speaking of Minnelli — who played Buster’s longtime lover Lucille Two on the show — Hale hopes that she’ll return for the film.
“I would love for Liza to come back,” he said. “She is such a dear. She would sit and tell us stories about her life — it was awesome!”
But Buster might have other plans. During the interview, Hale’s “HappyThankYouMorePlease” co-star Malin Akerman declared her desire to have a role in the “Arrested Development” movie, which Hale was more than happy to accommodate.
“Malin’s going to be Buster’s girlfriend,” he joked. “He’s going from Liza Minnelli to Malin Akerman.”
As far as where he wants Buster to go in the film, Hale said he only had one suggestion for Hurwitz.
“I did mention that I want Buster to be on ‘American Idol,’” he said. “But he didn’t like that idea.”

How Well Do ‘Couples Retreat’ Stars Know Each Other?
Malin Akerman, Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Kristen Bell, Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis are quizzed on their knowledge of each other.
What do Bora Bora, Couples Retreat and your user submitted “relationship advice” questions all have in common? Hilarity, that’s what!
Recently, IGN brother site AskMen.com invited it’s users to submit relationship questions for Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Malin Akerman, Kristin Davis, Kristen Bell and Faizon Love — stars of the upcoming Universal Pictures’ comedy Couples Retreat. The laugher follows four Midwestern couples who embark on a journey to a tropical island resort. While one of the couples is there to work on their marriage, the other three set out to jet ski, spa and enjoy some fun in the sun. They soon discover that participation in the resort’s couple’s therapy is not optional. Suddenly, their group-rate vacation comes at a price. What follows is a hilarious look at real world problems faced by all couples.
Yours truly was the IGN staffer tasked with participating in the press event, held at the same resort in which the film was set (on the beautiful French Polynesian island of Bora Bora). There I submitted myself to sorts of “grueling” activities to get your questions answered. Trust me. “How long should I wait to call a girl after I get her number?” is not an easy thing to ask with a stingray slithering up your chest. (You’re welcome Pat from Las Vegas!) Ah, the things I won’t do for IGN…
