A flabby farce in which everyone seems to be making it up as they go along.

Consensus: In terms of quality, Dr. T and the Women is one of Altman's good-but-not-great films. In typical Altman style, it features some great ensemble acting, including a wonderful performance by Richard Gere.
Runtime: 2 hrs 2 mins

Synopsis: Robert Altman follows up the good-natured COOKIE'S FORTUNE with this biting satire of an upper-class elitist Dallas community. Richard Gere plays Sullivan "Sully" Travis (better known as Dr. T), a... [More]

Reviews for Dr. T and the Women
It was a sweet film with some bizarre touches in its satire of the bourgeois.
01/01/00
Ultimately, Dr. T is the cinematic equivalent of shooting well-dressed turkeys in a barrel.
01/01/00
The episodic quality that made Cookie's Fortune raggedly charming is unhinged by a less cohesive story that is little more than the sum of its appealingly eccentric characters.
01/01/00
Not only a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying piece of work, but one of the better, more thought-provoking movies [Altman] has made.
01/01/00
There is never anything in the film to make you want to keep watching it. Not one thing about it is compelling or engaging.
01/01/00
Proven to be one of the great Robert Altman's lesser works.
01/01/00
An absolute mess.
01/01/00
This relaxed drama rambles in true Altman fashion and boasts some delightful performances.
01/01/00
Dr. T isn't a dreadful movie, but its spontaneity does feel forced, and we glean very little that is satisfying from the example of Dr. T's confusion.
01/01/00
A shrewd, sideways glance at the incredibly dense (and darn proud of it) male of the species.
01/01/00
The movie is a charmer.
01/01/00
There's ... plenty here to enjoy.
01/01/00
While it's impossible to call anything fashioned by a man of Altman's skill unwatchable, there are times when this pedantic and dull effort comes close.
01/01/00
Lighter and less compelling than Altman's best efforts, the new one produces a low-level, but still enjoyable, buzz.
01/01/00
[Altman] and Gere, surrounded by various blondes in extremis, mostly keep it entertainingly rambunctious.
01/01/00
An unbelievably unfunny comedy that ranks right down there with the very worst films of the year.
01/01/00
Both enjoyable and entertaining in its own right, despite various flaws that run through it.
01/01/00
Barely manages to stay afloat thanks to its many kooky characters, interesting premise ... and a pretty neat ending.
