Not for the simple-minded
2 August 2004
Like most of Altman's movies, this is more about characters than plot.

People complain that the characters are "stereotypes" as if there aren't actually shallow upper-class women in every city in America. The main characters in this movie are real, with real emotions and real needs, but since Altman (as always) doesn't feel obligated to work with broad brushstrokes, it goes right over most people's heads.

The hearts of every character (Dr. T, his daughters, Bree) are suggested, not spelled out. In short, another great Altman character study, with great performances from (in particular) Gere and Hunt.

Buy your copy now while you still can, before this one disappears from the video store shelves forever.
