...interesting sidelight: co-captain KIM BELSHE is a maple-nut purist and refuses to compromise her well-cultivated tastes, while MARGET LONG and PAT HORNE can be counted upon unfailingly to demand oreo with Reeses mix-in and coffee with Heath bars, respectively.

Ned Beatty is appropriately sleazy as Vance's boss, the advertising king who wants to hide the secret of Pat's shrinking because it could cause a "crisis of confidence in American consumerism...
