Prompted by my goodbuddy, we saw HoHW yesterday. Altho I understand Peter Sobczynski's comment on Ebert.com--"The finale is a particular disappointment-it is staged and performed about as well as can be but the whole scene is just so unlikely that it fails to have the impact that Sheridan and Mackenzie clearly desired"--both of us found the movie--including the finale--quite satisfying, even if the end of the story isn't a tidy, Hollywood-style ending.
It was well worth my time, and probably I'll see it again, as I missed some of the somewhat-mumbled dialog.
'Ebert' gave it 2-1/2 stars; I say 3 or 3-1/2, AKA good but not VERY good.
