Why Maya Rudolph isn't a bigger star is baffling -- there's little she can't do, her talents extend fully from drama to comedy. In this show she does both: somehow she manages to make a woman who, after a divorce from a cheating husband, receives about $90 billion in a settlement -- and yet she still come across as totally sympathetic despite her enormous wealth.
It's a hard task to pull off, making one of these ultra-rich elites someone you root for, but Rudolph not only pulls it off, she pulls it off spectacularly. The others in the cast are all adequate, the writing is pretty good, the direction sharp enough, but it's all about Maya. And it's really good. Maya Rudolph is always amazing.
