Or the sisters having it out in a good old cat fight. The gorgeous sister is Kyra Sedgwick, who dreams of being a model. I'm pissed off. Critical Care features a name brand cast, most of whom just stand around while a screenmate yada yadas. Long speeches and intense listening do not equal satire.
Satire is a fine line, folks.
When it works, the laughs come effortlessly. When it doesn't, it's like a punch in the nose. Critical Care left Cranky with breathing trouble. The only savior onscreen is under a ton of makeup, and that is Albert Brooks in the role of elder mentor to poor Dr. Ernst. Running so far into the realm of caricature, Brooks plays for the laughs and gets 'em.
