Oh, and one more thing — I just remembered Annette O'Toole played Beverly. She was also in one of 1975's best films, Smile.

I actually still need to see the film. One of these days — I love that Brenda Vaccaro (*clears sinuses*) scored an Oscar nod for it.

In retrospect, how did she not headline a sitcom following Cocoon or Driving Miss Daisy?

I also thought the emotional core was solid, with Wiig's pre-fight moment with McCarthy just as moving as "See you on the other side, Ray."
