I want to like this, but it is amazing how the bad late-70's tunes bring the film to a grinding halt, even for someone like me who appreciates music that is very much of its time. If the music was intentionally bad to make fun of then-pop music, that would be fine, but it is not the case. Also, I have a hard time liking Marta Heflin and she really doesn't have chemistry with Paul Dooley who's likable. And the rest of the cast isn't used well at all, especially Alex's family.

Altman's most underrated film.
