"No, it was 20 years ago," Thompson told 48-year-old Fallonof the 2003 ensemble comedy. When asked if it's fun to look back and reminisce on making the movie, she said "not really," adding: "No, you just say, 'I don't know if I was very well-paid for that. That was that terrible trailer with the loo that really stank' ... it's just the things you remember."
