An ensemble cast and interlinking story (however tenuous) make this worth watching, even if at three hours it is a bit too long. Still, the stories are wonderful, even when they're heartbreaking.

"Magnolia" is Paul Thomas Anderson's crowing achievement. Sure, "There Will Be Blood" was excellent, as was "Boogie Nights" and "Punch-Drunk Love," but this movie is truly amazing. Anderson takes as many thoughts and philosophies as he can and creates, through means of INCREDIBLE performers, stories that touch every aspect of human life. There are haunting similarities between these characters who are only slightly connected to each other. A mosaic of themes and powers, this is a touching tale of tragedy and comedy intermingled and married to heartache and hilarity.

Let's take an excellent cast, make a three hour bore, and end it strangely. Did David Lynch make this crap? What a waste. I want those three hours of my life back, Paul Thomas Anderson!

This movie has some really great moments in it and Cruise's performance can not be forgotten. I would not say it is a great movie but it is definitely worth renting.
