5/5 Crazy Relations
  by M. Lubrano (Westminster, CA United States)
Cookie's Fortune is a laugh a minute with relatives who stroll thru each other lives and don't listen to each other. Each knows best and each knows zip. You'll laugh at the turns and twist and the ending....well worth watching.

Love this movie. Cannot understand why it was not bigger at the boxoffice. Fabulous cast, and great story. What is not to like?

4/5 Cookie's Fortune
  by C. Harbaugh (Maryland USA)
A few months ago for the first time I saw "Cookie' Fortune" on cable. It seemed to be one of those movies that falls below the radar because it wasn't a big budget production that made millions at the box office. The movie was one of those sleeper films that had a great cast, a good plot and everyone could relate to and like. I would highly recommend this movie for family and friends. Also great understated humor. The director of this film is Robert Altman the same guy who directed the original movie "MASH" in 1972. His son also wrote the theme to "MASH", "Suicide is Painless".

4/5 Vintage Altman
  by A. Shane (Chicago, IL USA)
Intrigue surrounding the suicide of a crazy old lady in small Southern town. Rober Altman's best film since Short Cuts. Unique and mellow, full of wacky characters and down-home charm. Some wonderful performances too; especially by Patricia Neil and Charles Dutton. I could do without Chris O'Donnel or Liv Tyler, but even they are likable in this fun yet unsettling story, expertly directed and acted.
