Congratulations, the 2012 film from Juan Cardarelli and Eric M. Levy, tells the story of Jim (Brian Dieztan, NCIS) and Bridget (Abby Miller, Justified) and how their relationship crumbles after he proposes against her will. Part relationship drama, part comedy, the film takes a hard look at how big of a compromise is too big of a compromise for a couple.
I caught Congratulations at the Oxford Film Festival this past weekend and had the privilege of sitting down with Cardarelli and Levy (who also co-wrote the film) after the screening. They talked about the development of the story, how the film would be different with the roles reversed, and the benefits of co-directing.
Check out the full interview below.
Wgtc: Where’d you guys get the inspiration for the film? Why make this movie?
Cardarelli: The four of us, including the two actors, we all think about marriage and getting married.

NCIS fans have finally gotten their wish: Brian Dietzen will appear in the opening credits!
Having already been a regular for years as far as viewers are concerned, the actor earned a long overdue promotion this week and was granted series regular status on TV's most-watched drama.
Looks like Palmer not only survives, but will have an even bigger role in NCIS Season 10.
“I’m very excited,” Dietzen, who plays lovable assistant medical examiner Jimmy, tells EW of his new deal. “After eight years of being with the show, I got a contract with CBS, and I couldn’t be happier about it.”
The promotion, says Dietzen, could indicate Palmer’s increased responsibilities next year, especially in light of Ducky’s heart attack in the Season 9 finale, which ended with Palmer’s whereabouts quite unclear.
“As far as I know I’m safe, and a contract is a good thing to indicate that,...
