Who would've thought ...
20 April 2007
... that this movie would play at German theatres under the name "Robert Altman's Last Radio Show" (I'll talk about the origin of that title later)? And I'm not translating the German title into the English language, it's the title that is used in Germany now, and it's not the first time they use another English title for an English/US movie ...

... that Lindsay Lohan would be acting in a Altman movie? And the emphasis is on acting. She does a pretty good job here (ok, she's no Meryl Streep, who's also playing in here, but she's good). As are the other cast members (look on the IMDb list, for further details.

... that this would indeed be Robert Altman's last ... show/film? Which could be one of the origins of the German title (see first paragraph). Although a bit macabre you can never be sure. But one thing is sure, Altman still loves the overlapping dialogue (which most directors/producers etc. wouldn't do, because the audience can't understand what the actors are saying ... Altman goes with the realism!

So we get here, a funny (in an off-beat manner) comedy about a country show ... which also means, you shouldn't hate country music, because if you do, you won't like this movie ... end of story! :o)
