    • Trivia
      When asked about doing her first nude scene in this film, Kristen Wiig said "Being naked in a film or on stage isn't always supposed to be sexy. It was the part and it felt right, so I did it."
    • Goofs
      At the first meeting with the executives Alice states she'd like the show to be two hours long, but whenever there's a close-up of the TV guide it's shown as only a one hour program.
    • Quotes

      Alice Klieg: I was a summer baby born in 1971 in Simi Valley, California, and I've been using masturbation as a sedative since 1991.

    A realistic comedic look at mental issues

    I was expecting a roll-on-the-floor comedy. After all, it's Kristin Wiig, and Will Ferrell as a producer.

    It starts off funny enough. A woman obsessed with Oprah Winfrey feels screwed over in her past, but wins the lottery and wants to have her own talk show.

    But it turns into an analysis of a "mental issue" and the diagnosis that goes along with that.

    I think everyone has issues - but when you give these issues names then you marginalize & categorize people that further push people into little boxes.

    By the end, I was moved to tears. This movie is so worth watching. But it's not the SNL-type skit you might be expecting.
