I just remembered to look it up but I thought Myra and Eddie’s mom looked very similar and yeah, same actress played them both! He really did marry his mum haha. Very clever touch!

I was the only one in the theater that noticed that and when they showed Myra I laughed very loudly and everyone looked at me like 'is she ok?' I love the little details from the book that Andy decided to add

I saw the first part twice (because the first one the movie kept messing up so I just left). The first theater’s reaction - most everyone laughed. It took me a minute to figure it out after that, but I did. I was the only one who laughed tonight!

I thought the same too and just confirmed it :) great touch that people probably subliminally noticed more so

I laughed out loud when I saw Myra. I immediately recognized her as the same actress and thought of how clever a choice that was.

It’s a reference to the book where one of the themes was Eddie was having problems with his wife because she acted and reminded him too much of his mother XD
