"We did have auditions and I was so grateful to find Ella [Grace Helton]. One of the great things about her is she looks really young but is a few years older than she looks. She's got the maturity and she can work longer hours. She's freakishly talented. Besides being an actress, she competes in dance competitions, runs marathons, and is an amazing artist. She's really cool. She really got into doing the dancing and came up with this whole dance she wanted to do with John and they did the choreography together and were rehearsing it. She competes in ballroom dance competitions!” |

"John Brotherton is a super funny dude who is Heather's love interest, and that amazing child who's so intense and so wonderful in the movie. The dance-off sequence — I think it's even in the trailer, it's not really a spoiler - but Heather doing a sort of dance-off for the attention against a 10-year-old is probably my favorite scene in a movie recently.” |
