i watch this last night on sundance . altman must be the most hit or miss director of note ever . this show and despite it star power be utterly non compelling and and it political insight which i a a proud liberal in no way disagree with be shallow and clunky and and seem rip from the headline of usa today and despite the fact it come out of the mouth of someone as esteem a mario cuomo . the drama and a such and be not very dramatic and and the comedy be not funny . the only point of interest and really and be see how new yorkers live their life and and the loyalty of a cast and crew to reassemble a show that keep insisting have some cult follow from 1988. sometimes it seem like altman sole contribution to cinema have be the art of have all your actor talk at once and the effect of which be one feels depressingly like theyre a stranger at a wedding .
