There is not much to say about this movie other than to skip it. When you see high profile names such as Tom Cruise and Jason Robards, you expect to see a decent movie. However, "Magnolia was such a huge disappointment that I'm embarrassed to say that I've seen it.
To its credit, "Magnolia" had a few bright spots including the performances of everyone from John C. Reilly to William H. Macy. These performances were trampled by the number of storylines this movie has. Too many will confuse, which will cause the audience to just not care anymore about the rest of the movie. I can tell you that is exactly what happened with me. I think it would have been much better if it had fewer storylines.
