The film , which was in competition at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival , met mixed reviews . The '' Deseret News '' described it as " dark satire masquerading as bright comedy " , acknowledging it as a comment on American consumerism , and praised Sägebrecht 's " terrific comic talents " , while both film critic Roger Ebert and '' TV Guide '' gave it three stars ( of a maximum four ) . '' The Washington Post '' , on the other hand , regretted the film 's " deficit of dramatic tension " and considered Adlon 's message " scatterbrained " and " thin stuff indeed "
