Nursery rhymes are cheap. They don't cost like CDs and movies. You can get them second-hand, you can have them memorized.

In some ways, over the last 20 or 30 years, we've avoided nursery rhymes because … they're not politically correct. But you can pick and choose what agrees with your beliefs.

In a natural, fun way, kids are playing with words. It's making their little heads work when they are involved with rhyme.

And if real life was like the movies, I should have lived happily ever after.

Both 'Freaky Friday' and 'Mean Girls' were movies, not unlike this, that you went into with low expectations, but I was delighted by. Romantic comedy is delicate, in developing the story, in casting, getting the right two people together, and directing it. In this one, even more so, because it deals with life and death, too. It could be melodramatic in the wrong hands, and (Waters) needed to balance these elements. I think he was able to let both things live, and that it had an emotional reality but it never let go of its comic heart.
