Dr. Sullivan Travis is a man at the top of his game, a rich and successful Dallas gynecologist whose "religion" is women. Dr. T. worships women. In his immediate family and in his office, they surround him. He is loving and giving to each and every one at all times -- he is their savior. And sure enough, as in the story of Job, one day a higher force decides to test his faith. Once a man in complete control of his universe, Dr. T. now finds himself buffeted by chaos and confusion.

Critics Consensus

In terms of quality, Dr. T and the Women is one of Altman's good-but-not-great films. In typical Altman style, it features some great ensemble acting, including a wonderful performance by Richard Gere.

This is a movie written by someone who has never stepped foot in the state of Texas, much less the city of Dallas. The characters are stereotypes of what Angelinos *think* North Texans act and talk like. The characterization is shallow, the plot is thin, and the only saving grace is that everyone knows this movie is a dog.

Robert Altman has made some slickly compelling films. This star-studded confusing exercise is not one of them.

Film is the recipe for Disaster, horribly poorly produced, and completely banal.

Great cast of people but I was bored with the entire thing. I know Robert Altman can do really good movies but Richard Gere's performance is the only thing keeping the rest of this from sinking under so much babble.

Far and away the worst movie I've ever seen. I even watched it a second time to see if maybe I just wasn't in the right mood the first time. If anything, it was worse the second time around. Despite some decent acting, the movie is slow and boring. Most damning, though, is that the story makes no sense, and the ending is abominable.
