She’s played almost exactly the same part she plays here at least twice before, in The United States of Leland and Home for the Holidays, respectively as “Airplane Woman” and “Woman on Airplane” – she’s just “Nice Lady” here, lol, and I want her sitting next to me whenever I find sufficient need to get inside a flying machine. Then there’s Jayma Mays – and I’ll admit, I badly wanted to sing her praises back when reviewing Epic Movie, but for obvious reasons I wanted to keep positivity to a minimum on that movie, lol. Well now I can finally say it – how awesome is she? Especially at the end when the shit hits the fan, lol.
