Cookie's Fortune unfolds over an eventful Easter weekend in the small town of Holly Springs, Mississippi. The town residents are peaceful, kind folk -- with the exception of Camille Dixon -- a pushy theatre director with an incredibly shy younger sister, Cora, whose estranged daughter Emma has just returned to town. On the heels of her latest play, Camille is shocked to discover that her Aunt Jewel Mae "Cookie" Orcutt has committed suicide. Terrified at the thought of how this will tarnish the family name, she eats the suicide note to make it look like a burglary. This set-up leads the police to one main suspect, Willis Richland, who also happens to be Cookie's best friend. Although the rest of the town is convinced Willis didn't commit the crime, an outside investigator isn't so sure. As Easter Sunday and opening night of the play arrive, the truth comes out, revealing more secrets than anyone could have possibly imagined.
Leave your thoughts about Cookie's Fortune.
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonAltman has delivered a lot of surprises in his long directing career, and his new comedy, Cookie's Fortune, is one of the most refreshing -- not because it's so good, but because it's so sweet and affectionate. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasHas no ragged edges or bothersome detours, and flows from surprise to delight. At the end, when just desserts are handed out, it arrives at a kind of perfection. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThis film embodies the easy pace of southern life and has the usual assortment of goofy, but lovable characters. |
| Salon.comCharles TaylorAltman's digressive, shaggy-dog style turns out to be well-suited to Southern Gothic. |
| Film Journal InternationalKevin LallyA gently amusing, rural comedy of manners. |
| culturevulture.netArthur LazereMore likely a footnote than a major chapter in [Altman's] career. But a charming and amusing footnote it is... |
| San Francisco ExaminerWesley MorrisMeanders around Holly Springs, Mississippi, with the fuzzy benevolence of a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovIt is a sunny, delightful, dreamy comedy, filled with lovely performances, skillful direction and topped off with an understated, clever, extraordinary script. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperIt may be Altman's most successful piece of art. |
| Austin ChronicleSteve DavisClose is a true joy. Without question, she's the heart and soul of Cookie's Fortune. |
