"Hilarious and deadly, this may be Altman's most completely realized film since his glory days in the '70s." - Newsweek
"Mercilessly satiric yet good-natured, this enormously entertaining slam dunk quite possibly is the most resonant Hollywood saga since the days of Sunset Blvd. and The Bad and the Beautiful." - Variety
"A movie about today's Hollywood -- hilarious and heartless in about equal measure, and often at the same time." - Roger Ebert
