    • Goofs
      Eventually, both Candy and Paula would be exposed.

      Both Candy and Paula have their own Social Security numbers. Paula would have to use Candy's to submit her taxes as Candy, although Candy (really Kathy) would be using the same number to her taxes as her real self.

      Eventually, either the IRS or the media, would notice.
    • Quotes

      Candy Black: To Paula: "You seem to like being Candy a lot more than I ever did".

    It has a message.. Kind of!
    Once you step in shoes of another,be prepared for what's to come.. Towards the end you see that Paula,started taking on traits of Candy.

    Not saying either was justified for their actions,or lack thereof but one walked away a better person overall.

    This wasn't a comedy,instead dark humor on fame & being true to yourself.

    Drew has done better work,still worth seeing because she's in it.
