Critic Reviews
Everyone in the cast has his or her solo, and all rise brilliantly to their occasions, notably Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Beals, Mina Badie and a divinely neurotic Jane Adams.
Has a loose, improvisatory feel that rings true.
Isn't what you'd call a probing film, but it's a slick and savvy one.
Energetic, often very funny comedy filled with sharp, vivid performances by a terrific ensemble cast.
A cautionary tale, a warning not to gather all of your neurotic friends in one room - or better yet, not to have so many neurotic friends.
The overlapping dialogue and the comedy of famous people playing self-variations is pure Altman (Leigh, not surprisingly, has worked in three Altman films).
If nothing else, the movie proves even the rich and famous make boring home videos.
If one of its points is to show that underused thirtyish actresses still are attractive, it succeeds with Leigh and Cates -- and Jennifer Beals, who also provides a flashback feeling playing Cummings' ex-squeeze.
Like so many parties, this one goes on too long.
