Magnolia wasn't bad. A few of the story lines weren't that great (Thomas C Reilly's and William Macy's were especially lame), but Tom Cruise's was awesome, the little kids in the TV show were funny, and the frog thing was done well. It was also interesting how it wasn't like Pulp Fiction with 4 different stories, but all the different vignettes tie into one story.
But the movie was over 3 hours long and could have been cut down by at least 30 minutes just by taking out or shortening 50 unnecessary 30-second zoom ins for nearly every shot. The song they all sang was a dumb.
I own it. 2 1/2 stars
