Having watched the movie for the first time I was left thinking that this film could have been so much better. It lacked the crucial cliffhanger moments that make a good comedy/drama great. Having said that it does have a great central cast and all four main characters do their best with what they've got. Richardson and Theron make a great job of being Southern white trash. However, none is overly stretched and with a better script this could have been a truly memorable offering. But then again who could resist Theron shouting, "I'm ovulating, I'm ovulating," even if she was sticking a thermometer in her ear at the time!
