The movie, redolent of death, is a sort of wake, but a funny-sad one, teeming with music, corny jokes, and an ensemble of gifted performers who appear to be having an obscene amount of fun in one another's company.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Just lovely, and a magnificently enjoyable coda to an extraordinary career.
It sparkles with a magic all its own as an engagingly performed piece of Midwestern whimsy and stoicism. Mr. Altman's flair for ensemble spectacle and seamless improvisation in the midst of utter chaos is as apparent as ever.
What a lovely film this is, so gentle and whimsical, so simple and profound.
Either you like that brand of music and humor or you don't. I am not a huge fan.
