TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In an interview, Bette Midler mentioned that all three main cast members wanted to make a sequel, but the studio was not agreeable, as they viewed the success of this movie as a "fluke." Midler also said that just before the movie opened, she was told it would not do very well because this movie was competing against action movies with male stars such as Bruce Willis. This movie opened at number one and out-grossed those action movies.

Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton were all born within 45 days of each other, and celebrated their 50th birthdays together while filming this movie.

Doctors created Goldie Hawn's simulated collagen treatment by injecting her lips with a harmless saline solution. Though temporary, Hawn later remarked in interviews that the experience was quite painful and that it had discouraged her from ever getting collagen for real.

When the three ladies meet after the funeral, they are talking about Elise's (Goldie Hawn) plastic surgery. Brenda asks Elise, "Did you just have a little bit or the whole enchilada?" This line was originally "I got the whole Ivana," but was changed once Ivana Trump was cast in a cameo.

During her acceptance speech after winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Silver Linings Playbook (2012), Jennifer Lawrence remarked, "Oh what does it say? It says 'I beat Meryl!'" in reference to a line from this movie. Unfortunately, many of the viewers (and fellow celebrities) did not get the reference and criticized Lawrence for her seemingly insensitive comment.

Popular Dialogues

"Ivana Trump: Ladies, you have to be strong and independent, and remember, don't get mad, get everything."

"[finding empty liquor bottles in trash] Brenda: Let's examine the evidence. Look! all bottles and gallon jugs! Elise: I had guests! Brenda: Who? Guns N Roses?"
