Love it! Can't wait to check out Meet My Valentine!

One of my favorite dramedies is Steel Magnolias, and there’s a scene where the tension and weight of the situation is about to boil over, and then Olympia Dukakis’s character pushes Shirley MacLaine towards Sally Field and tells her to punch her. It was the perfect comedic release to an otherwise very emotionally intense scene. It’s this type of comedic relief that makes some of the more dramatic films so memorable and enjoyable. Were there any scenes in Meet My Valentine that functioned in a similar way?

What was your approach/process for injecting humor into the script for Meet My Valentine?
