* DawsonCasting: Kim is supposed to be in her mid-late 20's. Gina Riley was in her early 40s when the show started (just five months younger than Jane Turner) and 51 by the time of the movie. This was part of the joke in the original (that Kim was convinced how beautiful she was even though she looked at least 20 years older than most women her age). The joke was lost in the U.S. version, as despite Creator/SelmaBlair being in her mid-30s, she looked young enough to be convincing as twenty-something Kim Day. It also helped make the small age gap between her and Creator/MollyShannon less obvious.
