Synopsis:
Robert Altman follows up the good-natured COOKIE'S
FORTUNE with this biting satire of an upper class, elitist
Dallas community. Richard Gere plays Sullivan
"Sully" Travis (better known as Dr. T), a man
whose good looks and overflowing charm have made him the
most popular gynecologist in all of Texas. Things begin to
go wrong for Dr. T when his beautiful wife, Kate (Farrah
Fawcet), begins to lose her sanity. He sends her to a
mental hospital with the hopes of a full recovery, but her
regression into childhood seems to be permanent. Adding to
the mass confusion is an unexpected visit from his
alcoholic sister-in-law, Peggy (Laura Dern), who brings
along her three children, as well as the constant battles
between Dr. T's two daughters: the soon-to-be-married Dee
Dee (Kate Hudson), and the jealous Connie (Tara Reid).
Upon meeting his country club's new assistant golf pro,
Bree (Helen Hunt), Dr. T finally feels like he's met his
match--a beautiful, independent woman who has no desire to
be swept off her feet. Trying to juggle the pressures of
his personal and professional life, Dr. T's recent
problems culminate on Dee Dee's rain-soaked wedding day.
Working again with screenwriter Anne Rapp, Altman closes
his sprawling comedy with an utterly outrageous, yet
genuinely optimistic finale. |
