deliberate incoherent ugly mess
9 February 2016
Dwayne Hoover (Bruce Willis) owns a car dealership in Midland City. He's on his own commercials, married to Celia (Barbara Hershey) and is suicidal. Francine Pefko (Glenne Headly) is his secretary. His sales manager Harry Le Sabre (Nick Nolte) is just as crazy behind closed doors with his wife Grace (Vicki Lewis). Wayne Hoobler (Omar Epps) gets out of prison vowing to work for the similarly-named Dwayne Hoover. Reclusive Kilgore Trout (Albert Finney) is invited to a local arts festival.

It's loud. It's crazy. It's ugly. It's incoherent. It's messy. I would rate this lower but this is done deliberately. I give it credit for its audacity. I think it might work better if Alan Rudolph is a better visual director. I'm willing to go with the craziness but this is too tough to watch.
