The band is currently signed to the record label they formed, Gold Metal. Originally from the Seattle area, the band relocated to Los Angeles in February, 2006. In the least amusing of several would-be running gags, a bum outside the hotel does double-takes when he thinks he’s seeing double. Big Business is a stoner rock / sludge band formed in 2004.

In 2011, San Francisco started savings accounts for kindergartners. After the babies have been switched and the premise has been set up, far too much time is spent with the futile manipulation of the four characters in the hotel.

The fundamental problems of the movie all can be traced, I suspect, back to the screenplay. When an Achievement is accomplished, a notification appears near the bottom of your screen, similar to the example shown here. There are two basic types of achievements: Tiered and One-Time.

The Jupiter Hollow Midler seems unfocused, and both Tomlins seem to be the same rather vague woman who has trouble with her shoulderpads. Achievements are given when certain tasks are accomplished in the game. The most promising character probably is Sadie Shelton, Midler’s New York company executive, who has the potential to be a bitch on wheels but never realizes it. Midler and Tomlin can be funny actors, but here they both seem muted and toned down in all of the characters they play.

The life all seems to have escaped from this movie. The impending sale inspires the Jupiter Hollow women to travel up north to New York for the annual stockholder’s meeting of the company controlled by the Manhattan women.īoth sets of women check into the Plaza Hotel at the same time, inspiring numerous flat and tedious scenes that are structured as if they were intended to be slapstick. Before you can even think about your company’s growth trajectory, you need to have a solid staff to help you achieve your goals. Meanwhile, the New York Midler wants to sell out the factory and the town to a shifty Italian investor who wants to strip-mine the whole county right off the map. They work in the local factory, which has manufactured porch swings from time immemorial. But the Midler/Tomlin team from down South in Jupiter Hollow is a little nicer. Both Midlers are conniving and materialistic, and both Tomlins are flutter-brained and well-meaning. In its presentation of the two sets of non-twins, the movie backs genetics rather than environment as the prime formative factor in human development.
