‘focker-in-law’ director john hamburg praises ariana grande: “she was a filmmaker’s dream. she pushed me to rewrite and make her character as good as possible. she very smoothly went toe-to-toe with ben and de niro. she brought so much. i can’t believe she’s been in as few movies as she’s been in. she made a joke to me: ‘john, i’ve been in two movies and they’re both called wicked.’”
