...your friends and family feel about having their pictures in Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang? Are they worried about being recognized? My dad already thinks he's a celebrity. He's like, "I can't even go to the supermarket without getting recognized." I'm like, "Dad, the book's not out [yet], and no one knows who you are unless you're introducing yourself as Chelsea Handler's father. And if you are doing that, please stop."

Hence, there is Dan’s miraculous transformation from a borderline autistic into a Wall Street whiz who is also the life of Beth’s book club. (It’s a girls-only book club, but this film is far too clever to be derailed by such trivialities as believability.) Similarly, Beth trades men like Daniel trades personalities. It seems Tommy’s job keeps him too busy to hang out every single second of their screen-time, and so naturally she gravitates towards the only other male character in the story...
