Though they give you painkillers for the dental work. For this one, you're on your own.
The movie's problems include stilted and/or downright poor acting, a plot that seems like a collection of random plot lines from old B movies, and a pace that goes nowhere quickly.
The bad-girl lead is unable to pull off the role, the co-worker friend is a convent reject 'good girl', the bride is unlikable, the villain acts like a low-rent thug - there are no winners in the movie's main players, and though veteran actress Barbara Gordon does her usual good work, saving this movie is beyond her minor role.
Just say no.

I was meh on it until the coke bottle scene. This movie has the dubious distinction of being the only movie that I walked out on, convincing my riends to bail, also. We demanded to see the manager, got our money back, and left. I never wasted another minute watching an Altman film. I hear he's good at what he does, but what he doesn't isn't good enough for me. YMMV.
