The dialogue is humorous, and the story is told in the trademark Altman style, with multiple plots and overlapping dialogue.
The stories unfold in a single day during a lavish wedding that merges a middle-class Southern family with a wealthy one that has connections to organized crime. Capped with a somewhat tragic ending, the film makes concludes with a cover version of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on a Wire." Cohen's music set the tone for Altman's ''McCabe and Mrs. Miller''
