I hardly recognised Elizabeth Perkins from "Weeds". She is very funny in this
movie (although somewhat mean) and gives a very good performance.

I've seen her in Weeds too but recognized her from 1988's "Big" with Tom Hanks. She even changed look-wise in those 2 years so much that I hardly recognized her

what are you talking about? She is a beautiful woman in this movie! physically, at least. People are only comparing her to Demi Moore.

It is the way her character acts in this movie that makes her unattractive.

Beautiful? No way, not in this film. She's cast as a frumpy elementary school teacher. She is a beautiful woman, but not in this role.

LOL true! She did look much better in BIG. She did a great job acting in that

Her acting really benefited both films. It's sort of sad that she had to play such a rough character in About Last Night, but to her credit she was excellent in the role.

When Joan wasn’t being mean, she was being a sourpuss. When she wasn’t being sourpuss, she was being a smart-ass. Had she kept me waiting to see a movie, after I’d politely invited her, I would’ve stormed out. Seriously, who has time for that? Honestly, I don’t know why Debbie kept her around considering their friendship seemed strained for much of the film.
