Editorial Review: Description: A glittering Hollywood all-star cast shines in Robert Altman's deliciously sexy comedy hit READY TO WEAR! At the world's hottest fashion show, there's been a murder. Now, everybody's a suspect -- including two guests who end up sharing much more than a hotel room! Add to the fun a hilariously inept TV reporter on the trail of her most shocking interview yet! They're all caught up in the year's biggest see-and-be-seen events -- where steamy scandals and spectacular supermodels turn up the heat in a riotous show of high-fashion hilarity. Amazon.com: Robert Altman's much-anticipated broadside at the world of fashion is a disappointment. The film's crazy-quilt Nashville-like narrative structure and ensemble casting (Julia Roberts, Tim Robbins, Lauren Bacall, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren) are a thing to behold, but the story's many interlocking pieces lack overall depth and resonating emotion. There is a grand, satiric statement about fashion and society at the end of the film, and there are hints of an aging, nostalgic filmmaker's skepticism about our postmodern world of short-lived attachments and meanings. But watching this film is a long, long uphill climb, with a lot of thin air to endure before arriving at a destination. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Ready To WearWORST 133 MINUTES I'VE SPENT LATELY. IT HAD SUBTITLES, THAT DIDN'T STAY UP LONG ENOUGH, AND JUST A STUPIT MOVIE OVERALL. COMPANY DELIVERED DVD IN RECORD TIME. THAT'S THE ONLY GOOD THING I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. Rating:  - 2and half stars are you KIDDING?? BEAUTIFUL, FUNNY, GLAMOROUS MOVIE W/SOPHIA LOREN AND KIM BASINGER + LOTSA SUPERMODELSOk, Why would anyone even watch a movie about a murder taking place in a FASHION SHOW IN PARIS if they consider glamour and beauty not to be a point in and of itself. Aside from visual feasts the movie depicts this lifestyle in a honest way, kinda like how Office Space depicts the office life. One scene is when these two ladies who are staying next to each other talk to each other politely as they walk each other to their hotel rooms. When they arrive at their doors they bid their ... Read More Rating:  - non-stop hootWatching this movie is an enjoyable and non-stop "hoot" (if that term is still used). It seems that everyone in Hollywood wanted a cameo appearance in this Robert Altman film, perhaps because it was filmed in Paris. It is true that a critic may find the plot senseless and incomplete, but I doubt very much if the filmakers intended to present a complete and thorough story. The intent was clearly a parady spoof of the Paris fashion industry and all of its multi-faced participants. In this regard ... Read More Rating: - A Crazy QuiltWhy all the hate for FEADY TO WEAR? Like many of you, I was underwhelmed when it first came out but now thanks to constant showings on the Sundance Channel and all those channels in that narrow band of indie cable, it has been growing on me and now I can't stop watching it. Barbara Shulgasser's writing is wonderful, and if it has been chopped up like cole slaw by Altman's fitful direction, and by the generally improvisatory style embodied by Kim Basinger's steamrolling fashion reporter, it is still ... Read More Rating: - Pure DreckWhen this movie came out I was too young to see it, so I rented it last night and let me tell you, this movie is so bad it should be banned. I'm in a state of disbelief that an actor of Julia Roberts' caliber would agree to be a part of such a piece of crap! The only redeeming scene in this movie is when Tim Robbins says "Je suis mort. Ou est je suis?" in French, which doesn't make any sense so it's hilarious. Other than that, this is 2 hours of some of the biggest stars in the fasion world, Hollywood ...
