Cookie's Fortune unfolds over an eventful Easter weekend in the small town of Holly Springs, Mississippi. The town residents are peaceful, kind folk--with the exception of Camille Dixon (Glenn Close)--a pushy theatre director with an incredibly shy younger sister, Cora (Julianne Moore), whose estranged daughter Emma (Liv Tyler) has just returned to town. On the heels of her latest play, Camille is shocked to discover that her Aunt Jewel Mae 'Cookie' Orcutt (Patricia Neal) has committed suicide. Terrified at the thought of how this will tarnish the family name, she eats the suicide note to make it look like a burglary. This set-up leads the police to one main suspect, Willis Richland (Charles S. Dutton), who also happens to be Cookie's best friend. Although the rest of the town is convinced Willis didn't commit the crime, an outside investigator (Courtney B. Vance) isn't so sure. As Easter Sunday and opening night of the play arrive, the truth comes out, revealing more secrets than anyone could have possibly imagined. Director Altman tells his story at a leisurely pace, beautifully recreating the eccentricities of small town life in this sweet-natured tale.

I must be honest and confess that I am not a fan of Robert Altman. Suffering of his films are full of many characters who have their own sub-stories that undermine the narrative COOKIE fortune can be used as a good example. For the first half hour of the film: Cookie's Fortune we are introduced to the characters in a small town called Holly Springs deep south, it's right that a DVD movie Cookie's Fortune that lasts two hours quarter of their waste runtime countless characters. After this has been an event that occurs which establishes the main plot of a black man who is blamed for something I did, and if you are able to stay awake at this time you're doing well I mention this was not a comedy? I thought I should mention, as some people might be confused that this could be some kind of drama as hitting hard in the heat of the night and the Cookie's Fortune Drama movie continues in the same kind of unlikely blackly comic characterization and plot twists . But if you like Altman is probably like this movie. I do not much and I do not much
I fesses up, Altman is high and has me for a long time. This is far from his best work - but very, well above the average bear, eh, no ... average film. That has much to recommend, many actions, a complex script, it will request a little patience on your part - the same kind of grant. Their patience is at the heart of this film, not the high jinks and the rapid-fire action of most films. Goodness is lost, and many deeper human qualities, as well - when people or a culture of patience the way. Altman seems to know this, to hold the patient people, sensible people. But there are plenty of good jokes, visual, verbal, graphic-involved. Relax and laugh, let things develop. You might even laugh hard - and happily. I suppose this DivX Movie Cookie's Fortune could be called Capra-esque, and therefore obsolete, even nostalgic - not a good fit with the tumult of violence and dishonesty that characterizes the media's image of the nineties. Pity. Rent a video, or buy the video and see it with their children and then with their grandchildren. People complain about too much violence in movies, and then to ignore a Cookie's Fortune Drama film like this - and many of them are critical! Here is the full panoply of human life, young, middle-aged and elderly people, all interesting, all central to the story. What a fine thing!
Cookie's Fortune is bad luck to anyone attempting to view. This is a seemingly endless cloying and boring movie: Cookie's Fortune with exaggerated Southern accent, horrible overacting, stale jokes, trivial twangy slide guitar music that is even more annoying than a mosquito hungry South, and contributed a fool at best script that could have played out in 30 minutes, but continues and continues and continues and plodding for nearly two hours. With so much foul air pumped into it to extend its time to see, is the kind of Cookie's Fortune film you want to fast forward to the final, but then there is the end, if any, is unclear. Glenn Close, in particular, becomes an annoyingly overwrought performance as southern Crazi - that seems to have recreated the worst aspects of his previous role as Norma Desmond and transposed to the South. It's good to see Patricia Neal again, but its role as an eccentric old lady is too pretty and unrealistic. If you're a masochist with time on their hands who have to suffer, rent this little weary South Hogwash.
Incredibly horrible. Really miserable. Shot in the same soft, more enlightened, TV-movie style that afflicted equally depressing "Midnight in the Garden of deaf and stupid." Robert Altman (yes, the author who made "MASH" and "The Long Goodbye") gives us a film: Cookie's Fortune so boring, so useless, so insultingly banal and boring that makes you want to chew their own fingers in frustration. Or simply fail to see that, of course, that would be much less painful. Altman is a great achievement in this disaster Julianne Moore is unattractive appearance. It's hard to believe, but true. Glenn Close, meanwhile, seems alarmingly like Robin Williams in "Mrs. Doubtfire." If this sounds like the kind of Cookie's Fortune movie for you, then you have my sympathy. Full of quirkiness and deep south also paternalistic garbage, this is a terrible, terrible movie. Patricia Neal makes it right from the start, shooting itself. I guess she thought I was the only way out. From "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to this. Let be a lesson to us all.
From a director who made the very clever "The Player", "Cookie" was a big disappointment. After five minutes, I felt manipulated by the trite dialogue. I guess this was supposed to be a kind of character study, but the characters were never developed, it seems a dimensional, were uninteresting, and worst of all, could not act. I like Charles Dutton, but is more suitable for television. Liv Tyler is cute, but has to stay off the screen, or at least not so many lines. However, this is the only Cookie's Fortune movie I can remember seeing that really made me angry with the filmmakers. However, other members of the audience seemed to like, so maybe it's just me!
I was disappointed, but more sad that the brilliant director of Short Cuts, MASH, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Nashville, and the fact meanders unsatisfactory mess. At first, you know that is going nowhere and that the trip is not going to be fun. I was happy to see Patricia Neal in anything. But this is not a HUD, not in harm's way, even. Influenza A not insignificant, as far as I am concerned, is that very little southern accents here are entirely too intrusive, and do little else to do that you know you are a name, ie theatrical experience. I can not help thinking that the old Altman not have thought that a good thing. I am ashamed of liquidation had invited a friend that is in force a few positive comments. - It's one of those films where you can find literally anything to say to any fellow to do with, once you've finished. (I think it was too nice, perhaps too well bred to say "That sucked out loud, man.") Save your money for the rent of almost any other Altman movie: Cookie's Fortune to her name.
