Did you know
- TriviaIn every scene she is in, Amy Poehler sports a different hairstyle and never repeats the same one twice.

- Quotes
Kate Holbrook: Did you just stick your gum under my coffee table?
Angie Ostrowiski: [nervous] I don't know.
Kate Holbrook: What do you mean, you don't know? You think you're at an Arby's right now?
Angie Ostrowiski: You know what? I wish I was at an Arby's 'cause there's better food and cooler people there!
Kate Holbrook: [looks under the coffee table] Did you stick *all* this gum under here?
Angie Ostrowiski: I don't know! Maybe you stuck some of it under there.
Kate Holbrook: Yeah, actually, you might be right. 'Cause sometimes, when I work a really long day, I like to come home and chew a huge wad of Bubblicious gum and stick it under my reclaimed barnwood coffee table!
Angie Ostrowiski: Bitch, I don't know your life!

However, that caveat provided - the dialog and acting are top notch and what you'd expect from this crew. I prefer Kinnear and Weaver in more 'serious' comedies, a bit too slap-sticky for them, but still a good showing. The performance from the SNL alums is in line with prior work.
The plot is not entirely predictably with a few pleasant surprises (no details will be provided here, particularly this early - sorry folks).
Would I have paid to see this in the theater? Big maybe. While it's likely we'd have liked to see it, as happens we get distracted with other movies that _need_ to be seen in a theater to get the full benefit of sound/special effects and other 'non-fx' movies fall by the wayside. By the time we can circle back many aren't showing anymore and we end up getting them on DVD.
