Saw this movie before it was called Magnolia!

Rating: 5/10 (11 September 2005)

What a total ripoff.Even at the end when frogs rained down in Magnolia. This time it was snow falling in LA how original. I think someone watched Magnolia one too many times. I enjoyed the movie but did we really need another Magnolia? Instead of the cast singing along to the soundtrack we get the camera panning through the cast one by one as a song played. I wonder what Paul Thomas Anderson would think watching the remake of his movie. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If you are going to remake a movie, let the viewer know they are watching a remake! Their was not one original idea in this movie. This was a good film but Magnolia was so much better.
