One of Altman's biggest flops and rarest films, I believe it was the final theatrical feature of his I'd yet to see. Well, its flop status is certainly deserved. It's easily one of his worst (I'd rate it second worst, after Beyond Therapy). It's a pretty typical Altman film, with lots of characters and overlapping dialogue. It takes place at a health convention, and it's supposed to humorously mirror American politics, but nothing gels and the humor is terribly lame. It also gathers several actors whom I don't like very much (and I'm probably going to get kicked for listing them, especially since two of them just died): Carol Burnett, Glenda Jackson, James Garner and Lauren Bacall. Even usually reliable Altman regulars Henry Gibson and Paul Dooley aren't very good. Still, I'm glad I can check this one off the list. This is on Youtube now in its entirety (who knows for how long).
