9:20am- I arrive at New York’s Regency Hotel for an interview with Matthew Broderick. I’m excited to chat with him about his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, as well as his latest film, “Finding Amanda.”

10:40am- It’s been more than an hour and I’m still waiting. Listening to the conversations of fellow reporters. Boring. Ooh- the publicist just called my name! One step closer to Mr. Broderick!

10:56am- Just finished my Broderick interview. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy. He told me how proud he is of SJP’s “Sex and the City” success, and about the couple’s plans to take time off this summer to relax and enjoy their 5-year-old son. He also laughingly told me how “cute” it was the one or two times when his co-star Brittany Snow would forget a line on the set of “Finding Amanda,” because, as he said, “I’d forget my lines everyday!”

11:05am- Brittany Snow tells me she met with actual prostitutes in order to research for her role. Many seemed overly upbeat about their career, so she played “Amanda” with that sense of (false) enthusiasm.

11:15am- The film’s writer/director Peter Tolan is hilarious! He cracked me up throughout the interview, even impersonating Woody Allen at one point. He also gave me an un-PC (but amusing) compliment - he called me a “good-looking broad”. Who uses the word ‘broad’ anymore?? I should have asked him then and there for the part of “News Reporter #2” in his next project. I just want one line!

Anyway, Tolan told me the film is based on his life as a director/producer. Broderick plays a TV producer who can barely stop gambling long enough to rescue his 20-year-old niece from her troubling career. Despite the serious topic, the film has lots of laughs, and Tolan tells me he and Broderick “laughed constantly during the entire 21 days of filming.” I believe him.
