On one random day in the San Fernando Valley, a dying father, a young wife, a male caretaker, a famous lost son, a police officer in love, a boy genius, an ex-boy genius, a game show host and an estranged daughter will each become part of a dazzling multiplicity of plots, but one story. Through a collusion of coincidence, chance, human action, shared media, past history and divine intervention they will weave and warp through each other's lives on a day that builds to an unforgettable climax. Some will seek forgiveness, others escape. Some will mend frayed bonds, others will be exposed.

User Reviews: Magnolia (1999)

    Not even good acting can save the dead

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 20, 2002 | 1 out of 1 found this Magnolia (1999) review helpful

    The first 5 minutes of this movie are easily the best and last 5 minutes of this movie. After that, the plot dives into a mindless rant of vulgarity and stupidity. Granted, one can admire the cast for portraying stupidity so well, the acting is outst...anding, but a 3 hour movie based around a simple idea that's been done before? The directing was great, but how do you direct a blunt knife to cut through a metal pole? Can't be done.Good points: Directing, acting, taking a chance on a movie based around diolouge aloneBad points: Everything else.I recommend Winter Sleepers, the debut film by Tom Tykwer who did Run Lola Run.

    Like "Crash", Except Very, Very Good

    Pros: Complex, Touching, Dark, Beautiful

    Cons: Too Long

    "Magnolia" is an amazing movie. The lives of nine LA citizens intertwine, in one way or another. The junkie and the cop, the dying man, Tom Cruise as a misogynistic self-help guru, twp bpy geniuses... it's great. It can be depressing an...d drawn-out, but it's well worth the ride. The practicaly unbelievable climax does happen, although very rarely, and has been documented. I think it really fits the film, but many have scoffed at the absurdity. Bunch of jerks. Read more Less
