Welcome to Me Movie Quotes
Welcome to Me movie quotes tell the story of an unstable woman who wins the lottery and buys her own talk show. The comedy film was written by Eliot Laurence and directed by Shira Piven. Produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, among others, Welcome to Me opened in theaters on May 1, 2015.

In Welcome to Me, Alice Klieg (Kristen Wiig) suffers from borderline personality disorder but has long aspired to be just like her idol, Oprah Winfrey. So when Alice wins $85 million in the California Lottery, she sees an opportunity to do just that. After an awkward press conference claiming her winnings, Alice meets with Hollywood producers to pitch her talk show where she's talk about herself and write a check to cover production costs at a cool $15 million.

Despite entering each show on a swan boat and cooking things like delicious meatloaf cake, Alice doesn't see the initial success of her show that she hoped. To make matters worse, the studio executives (including James Marsden, Wes Bentley and Joan Cusack) are not loving her show and her unrelenting quest for fame is taking its toll on her relationships with her family members (including Linda Cardellini and Alan Tudyk) and her therapist (Tim Robbins).

Welcome to Me brings some laughs to theaters already packed with other films including Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Water Diviner, Adult Beginners, The Age of Adaline and True Story.
