Honestly, her character made me check out completely. It just felt almost condescending; like McDonagh was seeing how far he could push things and still have Americans laugh. The only way her character works is if it's an intentional commentary on poorly written sitcom characters (but to what end?). It's just hard to buy that considering this is coming from a writer who found a way to awkwardly jam midget jokes into another script.
