Corrected entry: When Brenda is reading the card from Cynthia, the camera shows a shot of the card and it is written to Annie, not Brenda. Annie's name appears several times.

Directed by: Hugh Wilson

Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, as Bette Midler, Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn sing the song "You Don't Own Me," watch Goldie's shoes. For the first portion of the song, which takes place inside, she is wearing spiked-heel shoes with multiple straps. Then, as they dance through the doors onto the street, she is wearing shoes with a single strap and a much thicker heel.

Correction: While Elise has a cleansing mask on her face, when she looks down at the mail pile on her floor we see the 1st of Cynthia's mailed envelopes, addressed to Elise. It cuts to a closeup of the 2nd of Cynthia's mailed envelopes, addressed to Brenda, and Brenda opens her envelope, gasps as she reads silently. It then cuts to the 3rd of Cynthia's mailed letters - a closeup of Annie's hands holding the letter addressed to her, as she reads and says "omg." Then, there are a few shots of all 3 women, each silently reading their own Cynthia letters. At 00:33:43, Annie reads aloud to her mother, part of her own letter from Cynthia. Please, rewatch this scene, there are no continuity issues whatsoever.
