Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1993) review

Born with exceptionally long thumbs, Sissy Hankshaw (Uma Thurman) uses that "gift" to effectively hitchhike across America, winding up in New York City where she meets The Countess (John Hurt), a businessperson who makes feminine hygiene products, and then gets sent to the Rubber Rose Ranch where the cowgirls - led by Bonanza Jellybean (Rain Phoenix) and Delores Del Ruby (Lorraine Bracco) - are leading a revolt against the government and actively drugging whooping cranes to make them stay on the land.  This notorious clunker - based on the novel by Tom Robbins (who provides the colorful narration) - has more detractors than supporters and perhaps rightfully so: it feels like key scenes that "might" have done a better job tying together the various bits were either accidentally or purposely missing, leaving it an incoherent (and wacky) disaster.  I wish I could say the cast somehow elevates the material but they're all hamming it up too, especially Sean Young and Noriyuki "Pat" Morita as "The Chink" (who is actually Japanese ... but whatever, man).
