    I love Sam Shepard but still somehow this Altman film doesn't fully come together. It's very theatrical (perhaps intentional) and the story is a little predictable.

    This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.

    If this is based on the Sam Shepard play, as I am assuming, I kinda want to see it.
