Movie description
In a single day in Los Angeles, a number of interconnected lives are changed forever. A lonely police officer (John C. Reilly) falls in love with a disturbed cocaine addict (Melora Walters). Her father (Philip Baker Hall), the host of the game show "What Do Kids Know?" has terminal cancer and tries to make amends for his past mistakes. A former champion of the show (William H. Macy) struggles to find love while the current champion (Jeremy Blackman) suffocates under the pressures of being a boy genius. An elderly man (Jason Robards) lies on his deathbed, tended by nurse Phil Parma (Philip Seymour Hoffman), while his trophy wife (Julianne Moore) wrestles with grief and guilt, and his estranged son (Tom Cruise), an infomercial host, teaches workshops on how to trick women into having sex. Throughout all of this, past deeds are lamented and strange forces loom in the air. Director Paul Thomas Anderson's follow-up to BOOGIE NIGHTS is an extravagant, emotional epic inspired by such films as Robert Altman's NASHVILLE and SHORT CUTS, with a sprawling cast of characters searching for love and meaning in a chaotic world. The cast delivers uniformly excellent performances, most notably Tom Cruise's Oscar-nominated role as the sleazy Frank T.J. Mackey.

Notes
DVD Features: Region 1 Two-Disc Set Disc One: Theatrical Release Widescreen Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Surround - English Disc Two: Supplementary Material Widescreen Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Surround - English Additional Release Material: Trailers - 1. Teaser 2. Original Theatrical Trailer 3. TV Spots/Previews Deleted Scenes/Outtakes Making-Of - 1. MAGNOLIA DIARIES Music Video - 1. Aimee Mann - "Save Me" Interactive Features: Hidden Features Theatrical release: December 17, 1999. Filmed on location in the San Fernando Valley, California. The Bible verse referred to in the film, Exodus 8:2, says, "And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs." There are dozens of references to this verse scattered throughout the film. Tom Cruise said he would like to work with Paul Thomas Anderson after seeing BOOGIE NIGHTS. Anderson wrote the role of Frank T.J. Mackey specifically for Cruise. The phone number for ordering the "Seduce and Destroy" package actually led to a recording of Cruise in character selling his products. Actor Jason Robards had just recovered from a very serious illness before appearing in MAGNOLIA. The film featured his last screen role; he passed away a year after its release. The film's title refers to a major street in the San Fernando Valley, where the story takes place. There are also pictures of magnolia flowers scattered throughout the film. In addition, "magnolia" is a name coined by author Charles Fort for a theoretical place where frogs and other unusual things might fall out of the sky. One of the books Stanley Spector is reading in the school library is LEARNED PIGS AND FIREPROOF WOMEN by Ricky Jay, who appears in the film. A major scene involving the characters of Stanley Spector, Dixon, and the mysterious Worm was cut out of the film for various reasons. In the original screenplay, the three meet in a diner at the end of the film and it is revealed that the Worm had killed the man discovered by Officer Jim Kurring in Marcie's apartment. Marcie takes the blame for the murder, covering up for the Worm, her son.
Editorial reviews
"...A showy flower of a movie....The big emotions bring out the best in a stellar cast..." -- Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly - p.83 - Lisa Schwarzbaum "...A major work highly in tune with the zeitgeist..." Variety - p.105-6 - Emanuel Levy Ranked #5 in Rolling Stone's "Ten Best Movies of 1999" -- "...[An] emotional powerhouse..." Rolling Stone - p.63-4 - Peter Travers "...Jaw-dropping audacity....MAGNOLIA's a source of astonishment..." -- 4 out of 5 stars Premiere - pp.84-5 - Chris Cronis "...All performances are flawless....Artful...[With a] heartbreakingly dead-on insight into the human condition..." -- 4 out of 5 stars Box Office - Christine James (02/01/2000) "...It's an impressive piece of work with some fine acting..." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (12/17/1999) "...MAGNOLIA is operatic in its ambition, a great, joyous leap into melodrama and coincidence....As its themes unfold, its characters strive against the dying of the light, and the great wheel of chance rolls on toward them..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (01/07/2000) "Cruise isn't just self-mocking: his Mackey is fully realised." Total Film - Total Film Staff (07/01/2006)
