Veronica Cartwright *SPOILERS*


Can't believe there are no posts about her wonderful performance! Did anyone else love it? She was truly delightful and tremendously funny in it. Loved every single scene with her in, and felt truly sad once her character died. She deserved much more screen time.

I agree, her scenes were terrific. By far the most expressive actor in the picture imo. Love all of her scenes.

Veronica created a truly memorable character for this film. Best performance by far!

Thank you, guys! So glad to learn that somebody else liked her terrific performance as much as I did!

It was good but we needed to see her confront the 3 women or Daryl, it was like a separate movie, and ended with her getting brained by her husband - pretty tragic for what is essentially a dark comedy.

This needed either a better script or better edit. Individual sequences were great but it doesn’t hang together well.

My favorite part of the movie. The rest of it isn't that great.

Great role for her. She's gets more laughs than anybody else-- even Nicholson. That scene of her outburst in church was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I love Veronica Cartwright. She's always excellent, though it's too bad she often gets the thankless role like this. I think it would have been interesting if her and Michelle Pfeiffer switched parts, and Michelle played an uptight bitch for once.
