Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed as a musical with eight songs by Prince, Sinéad O'Connor, and Carole King. Following poor test screenings, all but one of the songs - and all of the movie-musical-style production numbers - were removed from the film, and James L. Brooks wrote new scenes and did three days' worth of re-shoots to transform the film into a more traditional studio comedy. Only "You are the Best," written by King and including an end-credits version sung by her, remains in the final cut of the film.
- Quotes
Matt Hobbs: Washington? Washington, boy, that must have been a big adjustment.
Nan Mulhanney: It wasn't that bad. Both places have a lot in common: Over-privileged people, crazed by their fear of losing their privileges. Alcoholism. Addiction. Betrayal. The near total degradation of what once were grand motives. The same spiritual blood-letting. I kind of do miss the seasons, though.
- Alternate versionsA few shots were cut from the original R-rated version to receive a PG-13 rating.

Featured review
Just caught this flick on Cable by accident. lazy Sunday afternoon, and Contact was playing on TNT for the 50th 'premiere' time, so I figured, what the heck.
And actually, it's kinda interesting I thought. Nick Nolte and kids are always terminally cute for some reason (ref. Three Fugitives with Martin Short). He's like like a big St. Bernard dog.
Anyway, the story is OK, losta phony LA movie folks earnestly searching for themselves, blah, blah, blah. Somewhere in there, there is some genuine humor and heartfelt sentiment. Actually not all that mushy. Tracey Ullman is horrible as always, but apart from that an OK Sunday afternoon flick.
