Interview with the cast and filmmakers of Tully
I’ve been a big fan of Charlize Theron for quite some time now so when I was asked to be part of the press junket for Tully of course I was thrilled I’d be in the same room as this talented actress. I mean my new hairdo was inspired by her last movie Atomic Blonde (though I didn’t get to tell her that I hope she didn’t think I was some crazy mom blogger).

This is the premise of the movie but oh boy, is it a…
