Coming out Feb. 3rd is this hilarious comedy starring Jessica Simpson.

Megan Valentine is America's sweetheart, but her latest movie is a bomb and a crooked accountant has left her broke. So, she's doing what anyone else would do -- joining the Army. Now, there's no star treatment, no stunt doubles and no second takes. But with the help of the other recruits, she'll find the motivation she needs to be all she can be and make it through basic training with style.

Also featured in the film are Vivica A. Fox, Jill Marie Jones, Steve Guttenberg, Olesya Rulin and Cheri Oteri.

What role do you play in the film?

Vivica A. Fox: I play 1st Sgt Morley. I play the head chick in charge who is a former B-movie star now in the Marines. She has her own problems with Jessica, who shows up as a very spoiled movie starlet, and I just give her a hard time. I tortured Jessica and Jill for about a month, and it was great.

Jill Marie Jones: I play Connie Johnson, and she is one of Jessica's best friends. We are in basic training together and in the same barracks. There are five of us that connect, and we become best friends, and we go through the gamut together. She's there because she was laid off from her job. She's there for the job opportunities, and she comes in with a no-nonsense type of feel. She then finds something so much more in terms of friendship and love and everything.

Did you go through boot camp?

Vivica A. Fox: I didn't have to do as much boot camp as they did, and I'm glad. I only had to do two days as opposed to what they had to do. They had to get in the dirt and in swamp water, and I commend Jessica, because she did 95 percent of all her stunts. She was black and blue and was working hard on the weekends and shooting commercials and doing tons of magazines, and she never showed up with a bad attitude. She was like, "Let's do this, and it was blazing hot."

Jill Marie Jones: What is so funny is that before I got there, I box here in LA, and I would go in every day, and I wanted my endurance to be up, because I didn't want to be that one girl that is at the end of the line tired and all. I wanted to represent. I thought, "Oh my God. Maybe they will put us through it." The first two days of shooting, I was like, "This is nothing." But on the first day of boot camp, I think I had a mini heart attack. We went through it though.
