- A case for 2004 Courtney Cox in the Keener part, while saying the cast should not change: a comic, neurotic, sexy, Monica-like role she never found in movies; she is called underrated.
- Keener's legacy as the unconventional leading lady of indie films such as Living in Oblivion fits; Cox would bring too much famous-and-beautiful baggage.
- The speaker just watched her in Your Friends and Neighbors, calling it insane.
- A second voice also would not change it: being used to her as an indie actress makes her appearance striking, and anniversary pieces said she made it feel like a more real, weightier movie.
