Victoria Justice talks new film Fun Size, co-star Chelsea Handler

It was during the filming of the third season of Victoria Justices hugely popular Nickelodeon television series Victorious when the 18-year-old superstar received the script for Fun Size.

Justice had been looking at a lot of scripts lately and she mostly passed them up because they came across as too fluffy.

Fun Size was different.

Nothing was cool, you know? Justice said during an interview in Downtown Dallas Hotel Joule. Fun Size was hilarious. I was literally laughing out loud as I read it. I liked that it was kind of edgy and more mature.

As the poster girl for pre-teens across the nation, Justice was cast as the films main character Wren, a high school senior whose Halloween night is all but ruined when her neglecting mother, played by Chelsea Handler, forces her to take her eccentric little brother

Albert trick-or-treating.

Handler, a mainstay on late night cable television, is certainly not the actress Justice is used to working with.

Shes really cool. I think people think she must be crazy but she wasnt, Justice said. [In} the few scenes we had together we shared some great improv moments.

Considering that both Handler and Justice come from the world of television, shooting a film is slightly out their elements.

Obviously there is no laugh track in film, Justice said. Im used to being on set and pausing for laughter but for Fun Size I had to break that habit.

While Handler may not be film historys best mother, Justice claims that Fun Size is more about family than what the trailer leads one to believe.

The real message her is that family, no matter what you home life may be, is all youve got in the end, Justice said.

Even though Fun Size may be Justices first featured role for the silver screen, the actress has a huge following from her hit television show.

Justice is hoping that that same fan base will support her as she releases her first single (sans Nickelodeons Victorious) early next year.

I want to s! how the world that there is more to Victoria than just Victorious.
