\"FamilyPress conferences are informative, but not typically fun, per se. However, when you\u2019ve got two entertainers front and center who are seemingly very passionate about the film they\u2019re promoting, the excitement leads to a laugh-packed back-and-forth.<\/p>\n

That film is \u201cFamily Weekend\u201d and those entertainers are Kristin Chenoweth and Olesya Rulin. Rulin leads as Emily Smith-Dungy, a high school student with a passion for competitive jump roping. When her entire family misses an important competition, Emily decides enough is enough. She rallies her siblings, they kidnap their parents (Chenoweth and Matthew Modine), and refuse to let them go until they strike a proper balance between work and family.<\/p>\n

With \u201cFamily Weekend\u201d due in theaters on March 29th, Chenoweth and Rulin sat down for a session of rapid-fire questions. While we did get the goods on their connection to their characters, what it took for Rulin to appear to be a legitimate jump rope athlete, where they got their inspiration for the Smith-Dungy family dysfunction, and more, the bigger laughs came from poking fun at their personal lives and trying to figure out who made Rulin\u2019s dress.<\/p>\n
