"Hanging in thin air" says it about as well as I can.
There weren't enough points of connection between the stories to keep that part of it interesting. Each story trailed off to an ambiguous and inconclusive segue in to the next. Some of these were tied together later, though.
I've heard the same things said about the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
However, the cast did a fine job with a dubious script.
My favorites: Glenn Close, Kathy Baker, Holly Hunter, Amy Brenneman, Danny Woodburn. Oh well, Cameron Diaz, too.
Matt Craven was wonderfully smarmy, although it wasn't quite believable that any woman, even a blind one, couldn't spot that at 100 paces away.
p.s. Paul is right, it's not strictly a chick flick. It speaks to men as well, to the extent that it finds its voice.
