When this first came out I thought it was very funny, yes, but I kinda wrote it off as a piece of fluff. There actually is some meat here — and it ends very, very darkly. One could even say this is a tragedy. Much like Woody’s Melinda and Melinda, one could go the serious route on the themes of this picture. Is great art worth more than a human life? Are we attracted to artists solely for their art? Is it wrong for someone who aspires to make art, but lacks the talent, to give up if it makes him happy? The cast here is perfect. Which of the three women are funniest? Dianne Wieist, Jennifer Tilly or Tracy Ullman. Even though Ullman isn’t in it much, she steals every scene.
