She is SO hilarious. She steals every scene. I LOVE HER!

I agree!!!!! So many people seem to think she's annoying, but I just love her. What a great actress. She's one of those rare actresses who just does her thing and brings her own talents to the film without trying to "steal the show". And with roles like this one, she can make you laugh and sympathize with her at the same time.

Ditto on loving Joan! I think 3 (maybe 4) of her siblings are also actors. Of course, John being the most visible. Love him too!

Agreed. Her countdown in the motel room is the best bit in the film. Also, it's one of the few time the camera really looks at her which is a shame because she's gorgeous.
