Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The ending is so supremely awful that whatever progress had been made up to that point was washed away by the film's obtrusively climactic storm.
Cinema Sight
...A gently provocative character study and social portrait....Richard Gere's most accessible and sympathetic performance in memory...
Variety
Rating: 3/4 --
Moves at hurricane speed for most of its 122-minute running time, but Gere deliberately underplays his character, providing the calm center that the story needs.

Combustible Celluloid
Rating: 2/4 --
While it's impossible to call anything fashioned by a man of Altman's skill unwatchable, there are times when this pedantic and dull effort comes close.

ReelViews
A breathtaking black comedy in the company of women; a slice of heightened life.
Uncut
Rating: D- --
One of the very worst Altman films that implodes in on itself way before the end. A mess.

...Nobody can choreograph chaos quite like Robert Altman....Hudson and Reid are terrific...

Product Description:
Robert Altman follows up the good-natured COOKIE'S FORTUNE with this biting satire of an upper-class elitist Dallas community. Richard Gere plays Sullivan "Sully" Travis (better known as Dr. T), a man whose good looks and overflowing charm have made him the most popular gynecologist in all of Texas. Things begin to go wrong for Dr. T when his beautiful wife, Kate (Farrah Fawcett), begins to lose her sanity. He sends her to a mental hospital with the hopes of a full recovery, but her regression into childhood seems to be permanent. Adding to the mass confusion is an unexpected visit from his alcoholic sister-in-law, Peggy (Laura Dern), who brings along her three children, as well as the constant battles between Dr. T's two daughters: the soon-to-be-married Dee Dee (Kate Hudson) and the jealous Connie (Tara Reid). Upon meeting his country club's new assistant golf pro, Bree (Helen Hunt), Dr. T finally feels like he's met his match--a beautiful, independent woman who has no desire to be swept off her feet. Trying to juggle the pressures of his personal and professional life, Dr. T's recent problems culminate on Dee Dee's rain-soaked wedding day. Working again with screenwriter Anne Rapp, Altman closes his sprawling comedy with an utterly outrageous yet genuinely optimistic finale.
