Amy Poehler’s “Wine Country” was never meant to be a “ladies ‘Hangover,’” says star Ana Gasteyer. It was supposed to be a film about female friendships and the deeply rooted connections women have with each other.
“Initially, you think of this movie as a ladies ‘Hangover’ — it’s interesting because it’s very much about connection,” Gasteyer told TheWrap’s Beatrice Verhoeven. “It’s less about going crazy and being wacky. Amy didn’t want to make that movie either. We have a relationship rooted in huge history and the connection as women and a huge amount of solidarity as weirdo female comedians who came in at a time where we were just breaking some ground for female comedians.
