Sprawling and bittersweet comedy-drama that connects almost two dozen characters and their stories.

Follows an entire list of characters as they navigate their way through suburbia, all linked together in typical Altman fashion.

Similar narrative style to Altman's previous 'Nashville'. A few days in the life of a huge collection of characters. The cast is made up of entirely recognizable actors, each as good as the other. But, unlike 'Nashville', I wasn't bored with this long bloated trek. I found most of the individual stories to be more entertaining here. A couple I could've done without, but as a whole it seemed to flow better. The middle slows down a bit and the ending feels unnecessary. I generally liked the rest. This one mostly worked for me.

There are some interesting moments and strong storylines, but, as with a lot of Altman films, the movie has ADD and can't stick with one throughline for more than a few scenes. The pacing is uneven and frustrating and ruins a lot of the film's potential to build to a satisfying conclusion.

This was so aggravating, because I like these types of films. But it didn't flow properly and there were too many characters. The story was also lousy.
