Synopsis:
The Odd Couple, Female Version, is about two friends
Olive Madison and Florence Unger,
whose friendship is tested. During the friends' weekly
trivial pursuit in
Olive's messy home, neurotic Florence arrives late, fresh
from being dumped by her husband.
The group of friends becomes worried that Florence may
attempt suicide. As a result, Olive
invites Florence to be her roommate. It seems like the
roommate idea is a good idea until Olive organizes a double-date with the
Costazuela brothers. They quickly realize that their
opposite personalities
put their friendship to the test, and tension rises
quickly

separated from her
husband.

good sense of humor but can get irritated with her friends.

down-to-earth person who is blunt and has a good
understanding of others.
Renee,

plain-spoken.
Vera,
Vera, the other married friend, is kind, pleasant, and a
little spacey but has a great sense of humor but is unaware of it.

extremely attractive, well-groomed, has perfect posture, is passionate, and
can get emotional.
