Altman always manages to pop up with another masterpiece -- and darned if he hasn't done it again.

It's a joy. Altman does Dallas the way he did "Nashville" in Nashville or Hollywood in "The Player."

Altman and Rapp skirt the fine line between satire and caricature, stopping just short of ridiculing the women who pack Dr. T's office.
83
Funny and ebullient look at a man in full confusion.

Altman orchestrates Dr. T's odyssey with the precision, heart and lively wit of a virtuoso.

Rapp is clearly in sync with Altman's peerless sense of rhythm and knows how to write incisively and economically for Altman's cherished large ensemble casts.

The movie's sexual politics are as contrived as its plot, which veers off into one of the surprise endings of which Mr. Altman is so fond.
80
A giddy ballet in which the women whirl around a still, clueless man.

Altman gladly admits there's not much of a story here; his movies are driven by characters.

Some will dislike its shaggy-dog screenplay and restless camera work, and others may find its finale too postfeminist for comfort.
