Magnolia

24 hours in L.A.; it's raining cats and dogs. Two parallel and intercut stories dramatize men about to die: both are estranged from a grown child, both want to make contact, and neither child wants anything to do with dad. Earl Partridge's son is a charismatic misogynist; Jimmy Gator's daughter is a cokehead and waif. A mild and caring nurse intercedes for Earl, reaching the son; a prayerful and upright beat cop meets the daughter, is attracted to her, and leads her toward a new calm. Meanwhile, guilt consumes Earl's young wife, while two whiz kids, one grown and a loser and the other young and pressured, face their situations. The weather, too, is quirky.

Kenji Rating: 0/5
Kenji comments: zero stars is no mistake, i HATED this movie, i won't even go back and watch it again. We only have it to be complete..

Gohda rating: 0/5
Gohda comments: This is the worst movie i've ever sat through to the very end PRAYING that something, anything would tie it all together and validate me having watched random bullshit for 3 hours. This definitely makes my top 10 worst ever list. I like arty movies that don't make sense most of the time, but this is horrible.
