When Judy asks for a hug, Jen hesitates for a while before firmly rejecting her with the word "No!" The polar opposites the two of them have been since the beginning are humorously captured in this moment.
Observing the two women discuss their methods for coping with bereavement is one of the film's funniest scenes.
While on the phone, they enjoy discussing how much they adore Entenmann's Chocolate Chip Cookies and watching the same TV show.
Because Jen has a temper, when she learns that Judy made up her justification for joining the grief support group, she snaps at Judy.
Watching Jen complain about Lorna (Valerie Mahaffie) during her husband's birthday celebration can be relatable because many women suffer with a difficult mother-in-law.
The first time Henry (Luke Roessler) tells his mother about a bird that visits to his window and that he thinks is his deceased father is a touching moment.
Judy experiences frequent miscarriages and struggles to conceive. Jen has been attempting to navigate life as a single mother since losing her husband.
After learning that Jen had murdered her husband, Judy wanted to be there for Jen. Steve (James Marsden) is understandably furious with Judy when he learns that she is friends with the woman whose husband she murdered.
The moment where Jen is enraged with Judy is another sequence that establishes the characteristics of both Jen and Judy.
Judy claims that because Steve consistently made her feel crazy, "nuts" was essentially her nickname.
