Movie Haiku:Altmanesque ensemble about interconnected LA folks having a really bad day. SPLIT DECISION. Jan: Really good film about Cheadle turns into pretentious gobbly-guk with powerhouse moments never building into satisfying whole. Rich: Agree all the women stuck playing back-up, but still interesting & thought-provoking with good overall flow between episodes.
