I considered it the 'Travails of a Blond in Hollywood'. Not your standard narrative scheme. Last Ann Miller screen performance. She is outstanding and worth the running time.
David Lynch. "Huh" is a good response. From what I have read, it was supposed to be a TV show. My fave part is the "Illandro" song, by Rebekah del Rio.
You have to watch it this way - think of the entire first part as the blonde's fantasy - literally a dream. After she "wakes up," that's when you learn the real story. I think it's actually just a very sad story of heartbreak.
I love that Christine Taylor looks more like Marcia Brady in my mind than Maureen McCormick ever did -- kind of like when Cher guest-starred...

Glad to see I'm not alone in being underwhelmed by this especially after several people told me how brilliant they thought it was

Same reaction. The day after I saw it, I asked my most movie-knowledgeable friend what the hell I'd just seen. He wasn't v helpful.
Lynch Monster's comment above is the generally accepted explanation.
I've never been a fan of David Lynch. This movie didn't change that opinion.
It was always over rated- plays like a fail t v pilot which is what it was-
