...visit. The youngest (Frances McDormand) is a tomboyish travel writer who lives more for the escape of travel than for the art of writing. The middle sister (Madeline Kahn) is a self-credentialed / psychotherapist who has a radio talk show, a Gracie Allen fey charm and unyielding dreams of vulgar fame...
...Spend time with her, and you see that the raunchiness isn't part of her act; it's part of her nature. Clowning between takes with a photographer, she improvises a gross-out commercial, drip-drip-drip, for adult diapers.

Some of the stage effects bring unintended laughter from the audience, as does much of the pseudospiritual dialogue for Keith David, in an impossible role mingling elements of Death, Satan and St. Peter. And Morton himself remains a sketchy figure whose few bits of trademark bad behavior are repeated over and over...
