Nobody throws a party like Robert Altman, even if the most exciting thing at these pret-a-porter fashion shows the doggie doo under everyone's shoes. The cast includes over a double dozen of Altman's favorite actors and they spend most of the film doing nothing. Tim Robbins and Julia Roberts hop in the sack. Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren restage a scene from another movie. Stephen Rea takes some naughty pictures, and so on. READY TO WEAR has style to spare, and, maybe, a dozen laughs. The big joke is that it's all a bunch of merde, but we knew that to begin with. Grade: C+
