The daughter of a Louisville truck driver marries the scion of a very wealthy family, but reception at the family estate is boycotted by the invited guests.
From memory: This biting satire is a good display of Altman's mastery at directing a massive cast in chaos, but it lacks cohesion - and humor.
Halliwell* "Wide-ranging satirical comedy which despite excellent moments goes on far too long, is rather too black, and is sabotaged by the director's penchant for having fourteen people talking at the same time. An exhausting experience."
Maltin**1/2: "Unfocused look...some amusing moments and pointed characterizations, but doesn't quite jell."
