Dr. Phil has arrived on our TV sets after spending years proving himself in private, professional practice. Oprah Winfrey, who is losing her sheen as a host, but still knows how to make savvy business decisions, put him on the air because she saw something. I would like to think it is the same thing I see - he doesn't let his guests, or America, get away with CONTINUING to fool themselves. THAT is what's behind the "And how's that working for you?" It's his way of calling B.S. He would prefer us all and probably rightly expects that we all should get real. I think the people who don't like him or don't get him either need or want to continue living in their fantasy world.

I have to admit, given I saw it close to when it was made, I cannot remember the whole film. I have flashes of Melinda Dillon's performance in my head and I absolutely refuse to say anything even remotely negative about Stockard Channing. What also sticks in my head, to this day, is a scene between the three brothers...all of them walking down the main road of the town at some ungodly hour after a good round of drinking and Sean Astin is trying to convince the other two that F*** you is actually a compliment. He has his reasons. It's worth watching. But that's my opinion.

P.S. To the previous poster...the WORST movie ever? Well I only lasted about 20 minutes into Howard the Duck, but I certainly think it has the flop odor to top almost anything else.
