In between the first and second seasons of "Dollface," Kat Dennings starred in another project, the comedy movie "Friendsgiving." This time out, Dennings was one member of a large ensemble cast that also included Malin Akerman, Christine Taylor, Ryan Hansen, and comedians Wanda Sykes, Margaret Cho, Aisha Tyler, Chelsea Peretti, and Fortune Feimster, with the plot involving an intimate Thanksgiving celebration that unexpectedly swells to a huge gathering.

As Dennings revealed in an interview with Looper, the concept behind the film came from the actual lives of Akerman (who was also a producer on the film) and director/writer Nicol Paone. "This is loosely based on their real experience — they're obviously way more fun than I am," Dennings said. "They were kind of regaling me with stories in between takes. I was like, 'Oh, my God, this is real?' They were like, 'Um, yeah.'"

For Dennings, being surrounded by all that comedy talent made for one of the most enjoyable times she'd ever spent on a movie set. "It was kind of the most fun Thanksgiving in the world," Dennings said during an interview with "Today." She added, "Obviously, working with these people was a dream, but it was also just a fun time."
