Dr. Sullivan Travis "Dr. T." is a wealthy Dallas gynecologist for some of the wealthiest women in Texas who finds his idealist life beginning to fall apart starting when his wife, Kate, suffers a nervous breakdown and is committed to the state mental hospital. Dr. T's eldest daughter, Dee Dee, is planning to go through with her approaching wedding despite the secret that she's a lesbian and is romantically involved with Marilyn, the maid of honor. Dr T's youngest daughter, Connie, is a conspiracy theorist freak who has her own agenda to everything, while Dr. T's loyal secretary, Carolyn, has romantic feelings for him, which are not mutual. Dr. T's sister-in-law, Peggy, meddles in every situation she stumbles into, while one woman, Bree, a golf instructor, is the only one who offers him any comfort and salvation.

| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonFunny and ebullient look at a man in full confusion. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldAltman always manages to pop up with another masterpiece -- and darned if he hasn't done it again. |
| Film.comJohn HartlIt's a terrific showcase for Richard Gere, Shelley Long, Farrah Fawcett and a number of other actors who almost seemed to have been written off. |
| San Francisco ExaminerWesley MorrisGere appears to be having such a luscious time surrounded by the film's fuzzy sketch of genteel, grotesque, distaff Texas that he's forgotten to be smug. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanNot only a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying piece of work, but one of the better, more thought-provoking movies [Altman] has made. |
| PopMattersMike WardWe're stuck, the movie seems to say. Men and women: this is simply how we are. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellThe ending is so supremely awful that whatever progress had been made up to that point was washed away by the film's obtrusively climactic storm. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAltman would never admit this, but I believe Dr. T, the gynecologist in his latest film, is an autobiographical character. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezPrior to its hyperbolic final act, this is one of Robert Altman's most skillful and least bombastic features in some time. |
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekAlmost all of the movie's romantic lunacy is too calculated and sly; the picture never quite sweeps us away. |
