Title: If you don't have a story, don't tell it
Review: I'm a fan of much of Robert Altman's work, and when I went to see this film I had fairly high expectations. However, what I got was a couple of hours of dull storyline. The "big surprise" was probably supposed to provide a great twist at the end, but anyone still awake will have figured it out mid-way through the movie. There seems to be potential in this period piece, but in the end it's just a pointless story with little to recommend it. As I said to my friends after leaving the theater, "If you don't have a story, don't tell it." The most shocking thing was that this worthless movie was nominated for Oscars!
