When you study beauty therapy one of the most important things like a doctor is confidentiality you're just not allowed to spread other peoples personal information. If someone willingly gives you information it stays secret. A gossipy unproffesional woman like that would not be working for a company like saks!!So this is an unrealistic part of this re-make!
shareRight on! What a big mouth! Why would she assume in this small world that she could blab the first and last name of someone having an affair and the client would not possibly know it, or in this case be married to said person! Yikes!!
shareNot only that, but Stephen's in the newspapers. Who wouldn't know him?? Also, why does she keep telling that ONE story??
shareIt's a movie, Turkey Brains. Poetic license.
How about talking about something important to the movie, instead of this crap.
I completely agree about the confidentiality matter but it was far from the most unrealistic thing in this film. Honestly, in addition to questioning whether Diane English had ever had a manicure before writing this film, I also find myself wondering if she's ever actually known another woman. If yes, then they must be the most insincere and vapid examples of gender stereotypes.
sharePLEASE. Have none of you familiarized yourselves with either the original (far superior) 1939 movie, or the play upon which it is based? Diane English has nothing to do with this story, except maybe to hack it to bits, and, realistic or not, the manicurist's role has always been pivotal to the plot introduction.

I haven't seen the original movie in a long time, but watching the remake, you could tell which scenes were almost straight from it (the manicurist scene, some of the duchess scenes, when Crystal is talking to Steven on the phone and her friend makes comments in the background). To me the tone changed from these scenes from the other scenes that were modernized or just new. It seemed lazy to me.

Ah that's the key to this sloppy remake. Big fan of original. As to this mess "It seemed lazy to me." That hit nail on head.
One problem here, besides the sit-comedy style is that words on paper that probably got a chuckle off camera didn't come across.
Meg 'I could suck nails out of a board' Ryan walks thru the film without any of the original's life force.
Rich peoples troubles in 2011 is a tough go when cuts are being thrown around so heavily. Seeing the '08 remake thru that prism really points to the Sex in the City 2 quality at the core.
Main enjoyment here is just to see the difs in style & approach.
Sad that all the life, spirit, color, jest were sucked out.
Need a brain wash after this actors workshop. Something with some real depth.
So tired of films where the players had more fun doing their fantasties than got translated over to audience. How annoying can Debra M get. The pregnant
arrival scene with her in wheelchair....oh yuck, hasn't this been done to death on the telly way too much. Just another sit-com staple - deliver the baby as the final season of the series.
Whole film drags that way. Redeeming value is to be used in film school as what to avoid doing.
"How much can you trust a manicurist?"
"Oh, they know everything. Manicurists and florists. It's frightening how much information those people are carrying."
- yeah, they carry "Gossips" and doctors carry medical info and seem not interesting for other people. I think the manicurist got the big part of the story. :) Let's admit, a gossip such as this is more interesting, isn't it?
LOL!
"I guess I'm happy when I don't want to be anywhere else but where I am"
I thought the manicurist was very comical. I liked the first scene she was in when Meg Ryan's best friend went to see her. Confidentiality may be a rule. But I bet the reason that women went to see her was to get all the gossip.
shareThe manicurist was Debi Mazar, While working at Nightclub Danceteria,she met Madonna. Madge hired her to do her makeup for the music video for "Everybody" they became close friends She appeared in five of Madonna's music videos"Papa Don't Preach," "True Blue" (both 1986), "Justify My Love" (1990), "Deeper and Deeper" (1992) and "Music" (2000),
Useless bit of Trivia for you there guys 😴
My God, It's full of stars
