a an altman fan and i would seek out this movie for year and think that with such a great cast and it would have to be at least marginally brilliant . big mistake . this be one of altman big cast mishmash and throw together haphazardly and improvisationally ( or so it feel ) with the hope that it would all come together in the editing room . it doesn not . a maltin point out and this turkey be notable only for the debut performance of alfre woodard and who outshine the vet all around her . but other than that and avoid at all cost . ( which be pretty easy to do it never be release on video to my knowledge and it cable appearance have the frequency of halley comet . ) .
