“You can’t watch Meg Ryan for two hours and not be thinking about another girl.”
The scene: Andie starts going off on Benjamin in the middle of a movie theater. “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” was incredibly hilarious, as Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) goes out of her way to get on Benjamin’s (Matthew McConaughey) nerves and get rid of him.
At some point, a loud and enraged Hudson exclaims, “You can’t watch Meg Ryan for two hours and not be thinking about another girl!” This line was improvised! Hudson was usually encouraged by director Donald Petrie to ad-lib and catch Matt by surprise. And she did so brilliantly with this line.
The Princess Diaries
“Not you. I don’t even know you.”
The scene: Lilly is running down the street, trying to get Mia’s attention. In the scene where Lilly (Heather Matarazzo) is running down the street trying to get to her friend Mia (Anne Hathaway), she tries screaming out so Mia slows down.
But instead, some other guy turns around. To this, Matarazzo ad-libbed the funny comeback, “Not you, I don’t even know you.” As the actress said in a later interview, this was apparently the producer's suggestion, which, like the rest of the crew, just felt like a very close group of friends working together.
The Princess Bride
“Have fun storming the castle!”
The scene: Westley and his friends run off to Humperdinck’s castle, and Miracle Max says goodbye. What a classic from the late 80s! Rob Reiner’s "The Princess Bride" is a classic fairytale with intelligent, dark humor, a brilliant script, and a fantastic cast.
This includes the famous scene where Miracle Max and his wife, played by Carol Kane, are waving goodbye to Westley and his friends as they run off to Humperdinck’s castle. Crystal yells, “Have fun storming the castle!” which was just one of the hundreds of lines that would make the movie hilarious and super fun to watch.
Julie and Julia
“And you are so good at it. Look at you!”
The scene: Julia Childs and her husband are eating at a restaurant. That improvised line gave them both a good laugh! In this scene, Paul and Julia are sitting at a restaurant as they talk about their move to Paris since Paul is a diplomat and gets relocated often.
When Julia (played by Meryl Streep) asks her husband what she’ll do in Paris, Tucci asks, “What is it that you like to do?” and Julia immediately says, “Eat.” However, the following line is completely off-script, as Tucci replies, “And you are so good at it. Look at you!”
Mean Girls
“I want my pink shirt back!”
The scene: Damian and Janis yell at Cady from the car. Mean Girls is the ultimate teenage comedy flick with a great script, which isn’t surprising since Tina Fey wrote it about it.
But, of course, you wouldn’t e One of these improvisations was Damian’s yelling out, “I want my pink shirt back!” to Cady (Lindsay Lohan), as he’s driving around with Janis (Lizzy Caplan), angry about not getting invited to Cady’s party. Damian, played by Daniel Franzese, said he was given free rein when improvising. So, he decided to scream out the shirt line twice!
